Federal Civil & Criminal Appeals

Preserving Your Rights Under Law

In the event a federal trial or hearing yields an unfavorable result, Melville Johnson, P.C. can help you have that outcome reversed or a new trial or hearing ordered. When you win a case, protecting that verdict becomes imperative, and we can help you avoid the additional legal costs a new hearing would entail.

At Melville Johnson, P.C., we are highly experienced appellate attorneys, focusing on Federal appeals. We have a comprehensive understanding of the appellate process, the Federal Courts, and how to obtain positive results from the judicial system.

Our appellate practice encompasses:

• Federal civil appeals
• Federal criminal appeals
• Appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court

Judges and juries can and do make mistakes. Sometimes new law must be made by an appellate court. Knowing what to base a Federal appeal on, when and where to file the Federal appeal, what procedures to follow, and what to expect realistically out of the appeal are all questions that require an experienced attorney to answer. Melville Johnson, P.C.’s vast experience in the Federal system gives you the advantage of having lawyers who know Federal procedure inside out — procedures that can be critical in the Federal appeal process.

Federal appeals are not always handled in the federal circuit courts of appeal. Melville Johnson, P.C. can help ensure that you file your appeal with the proper entity. For example, an appeal from a district court would normally be made to a circuit court. The EEOC, on the other hand, hears appeals from Federal Final Agency Decisions for certain employees. Additionally, appeals from EEOC decisions can normally be made to a Federal district court. Other administrative agencies of the Federal government have their own appeals procedures. U.S. Supreme Court appeals must be handled using a unique, timely, and complex procedure.

Past Experience, Persuasive Representation, Positive Results

Whatever your situation, our experience can assure you that you are not defeated by mere procedure. Melville Johnson, P.C. has the experience and the knowledge to assess, prepare, and pursue your appeal as far as possible. Using legal reasoning well-founded in law, persuasive argumentation, and our passionate commitment, we will seek the optimum results for you.
