Drug Conviction Appeals

Thousands of individuals in Pennsylvania face convictions in drug-related cases due to some of the strictest laws in the nation. Consequently, the conviction rate here is notably higher compared to other states. If you or a loved one has been convicted of drug possession, distribution, or manufacturing, your defense doesn’t end with the conviction. Accepting the conviction without challenge can severely impact your career and community reputation. Fortunately, the law allows for post-conviction action through drug conviction appeals. It’s crucial to promptly seek the expertise of a skilled Greensburg criminal attorney specializing in post-conviction litigation to continue your fight.

What You Need to Know

What is a Drug Conviction Appeal?

A drug conviction appeal provides an opportunity to present your case to a higher court, aiming to overturn the sentence imposed by the lower court.

• Appeals are pursued when there has been an error in the application of law by the lower court or a violation of a constitutional right.
• You can appeal against the severity of the sentencing or challenge the conviction itself.
• During the appeals process, newly discovered evidence can be introduced, allowing for a reexamination of events, facts, and testimonies that may have been overlooked in the initial trial.
• Appeals can also address improper obstruction by officials that hindered your right to appeal.
• Several litigation options are available, which can be explored in consultation with your Greensburg DUI attorney.

Valid Grounds for an Appeal

It’s important to note that a conviction cannot be appealed simply because you disagree with the outcome. You must have a valid legal reason such as:

• Inadequate representation
• New evidence
• A violation of your right to a speedy trial
• Impartiality of the jury
• Other legitimate legal grounds
