You may have been found guilty at trial, but that doesn’t mean your case is sealed shut. If you have been convicted of a crime in New York, you have an automatic right to appeal a conviction or a sentence, but it is important that you take action as soon as possible. You have a constitutional right to have the trial court’s actions evaluated by a panel of appellate judges.
Post Conviction Process
If your case was mishandled or a procedural error led to your conviction, your case could be overturned. In order to process an appeal, the notice of appeal must be processed within 30 days from the date the judgement of conviction was entered. The process of appealing a criminal conviction starts once a jury has delivered a guilty verdict and the judge has imposed a sentence on the defendant. In New York, the intermediate appellate court serves as a level of review that sits between the trial court and the state’s highest court, known as the New York Court of Appeals.
The type of offense (misdemeanor or felony) and the jurisdiction where the conviction occurred generally dictate which intermediate appellate court will handle your appeal.
