NEW JERSEY CRIMINAL APPEALS ATTORNEYS

 

New Jersey AppealsAs most of us know, our justice system gives a person convicted of a crime the opportunity to appeal his or her case. In most cases, a criminal appeal does not afford the convicted person the ability to challenge the facts of the case. But it does allow a skilled appellate attorney the opportunity to show that a court misapplied the law, went outside its scope, or otherwise erred in its judgment.

Criminal appeals require a specific set of skills on the part of the appellate attorney — detailed analysis, exhaustive research and preparation, precise writing, and effective oral argument are among them. Relatively few attorneys are willing and able to undertake the painstaking and sometimes thankless work that is involved. Brian J. Neary, a veteran criminal defense lawyer admitted to the New Jersey Bar in 1976, is one of them.
