Appealing a case is a complex process. Initially, you must obtain permission from the Court of Appeal to proceed with the appeal. The court will grant this permission if they believe there is a genuine chance of success or if there is a compelling reason to hear the appeal.
When appealing you can appeal against either the sentence imposed or the conviction itself or both.
Our criminal appeals solicitors are committed to offering complete assistance when it comes to criminal appeals. If the appeal is granted, the representation order is typically extended to include the expenses of these proceedings. However, if it is a private matter, we will provide an estimate of costs.

In the UK, the length of criminal appeals can differ based on the case’s complexity and the court handling it. However, appeals are usually heard within six months of being submitted to the court. If someone has been given a brief prison sentence, there is a process to speed up an appeal, and in certain instances, they can be heard within a few days.
