Experienced in Civil and Criminal Appeals

Criminal Appeals in Chesapeake, Hampton, Norfolk and Virginia Beach

Unfortunately, not every trial ends the way a client expected. Both Criminal and Civil Appeals are controlled by strict deadlines and filing procedures; it is important to have an experienced attorney who not only understands those procedures, but who can prepare your case to be heard by a different court. Lu Aloupas is just such an attorney. The standards the appellate courts use to evaluate a case are usually different from the standards the trial court’s use. At Aloupas Law, I will build on the strong points from your first trial, while successfully addressing the weaknesses of the earlier case, and work diligently to advocate your position successfully. These are not easy cases, so whomever you decide to hire will most likely have a direct impact on your case, and it’s outcome.
