Federal Appeals

Federal Criminal Appeals Lawyers

Federal criminal appeals are one of the most challenging areas of legal practice. After a defeat at trial, those wrongly convicted of crimes often turn to a new law firm, one with experience and a long record of success in federal appeals.

A Record of Success in Federal Criminal Appeals

The attorneys of Sorrels, Udashen, & Anton have successfully represented clients in federal appellate cases for more than 30 years. We have an impressive record of success in appellate cases involving white collar crimes like mail fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, public corruption and conspiracy as well as drug crimes and other offenses. For example:

Citizen convicted in federal court of various narcotic offenses and sentenced to 27 years. Sorrels, Udashen & Anton represents on appeal and convinces Federal Appeals Court that sentence was imposed in an unconstitutional manner. Result: Sentence vacated and District Court ordered to resentence defendant.

Our appellate lawyers will carefully review the entire case record, from indictment to trial and sentencing, looking for errors on which to base an appeal. Were you deprived of your constitutional rights? Should the evidence against you have been suppressed? Were the Sentencing Guidelines incorrectly calculated?

Intelligent Representation Backed Up By Hard Work

We will select the strongest arguments and prepare a compelling case based on quality legal research and scholarship. Our representation is informed by years of real world experience and backed up by a solid work ethic.

Our attorneys have written and lectured widely to law students and other lawyers on various aspects of criminal appeals. We are respected by our legal peers, who often turn to us for advice or refer federal appeals cases to us.

To arrange a case consultation, please call Sorrels, Udashen, & Anton at 214-468-8100 or contact us by e-mail.

From offices in Dallas, our criminal defense attorneys represent clients in federal appeals throughout Texas and the United States.
