Have you or a family member been convicted of a crime? Mistakes happen in a courtroom and you may be able to appeal your criminal case. At the law offices of Brucar and Yetter in Wheaton, Rolling Meadows and St. Charles, Illinois, our criminal appeals defense attorneys handle post conviction work in trial and appellate court. Our recent appellate work includes appeals for cases like:
Our experience includes appeals in all state courts as well as federal courts through the United States Supreme Court. We will be happy to share our work with you so you can see the level of expertise you can expect when working with us.
If you're appealing your criminal case find an attorney with the right experience in criminal appeals. They must be well versed and experienced in appellate law, which is not a specialty of many criminal defense attorneys. They should also have an understanding of trial work.

Appeals are often won by finding mistakes made during trial so it's important to hire a lawyer who can read the record and quickly find those errors, including mistakes made by your trial lawyer. The trial must be reviewed word by word for errors. An appellate lawyer with years of trial experience is key and is what you will find at Brucar & Yetter. We understand the law and know how to scrutinize a trial for mistakes, misconduct or other grounds which can lead to a successful appeal.

Any number of things can go wrong at trial. Common mistakes we find when doing appeals for our clients include:
  • The trial court excluding evidence which should be heard by the jury, or permitting use of prosecution evidence which should have been excluded;
  • Prosecutors make inappropriate arguments or engage in intentional misconduct;
  • Defense attorneys fail to do everything they should in preparation and trial of a case.
We promise to thoroughly review every document connected to your case and argue your case systematically and assertively. It is important you contact us early on to handle your criminal appeal. The longer you wait the harder and more expensive it will be to fight your conviction. In addition, if you wait too long you will miss important deadlines to file your criminal appeal. We will help you fight your conviction at a reasonable price.

What if I lost my appeal?

Losing an appeal does not end your ability to fight. First, unless you have appealed to the United States Supreme Court there are appeals outstanding in your case.
Secondly you may still maintain rights under the Post Conviction Relief Act. Our firm has successfully presented these cases to the courts and won. No one has the experience we do - experience which can give you with a fighting chance you may not have known you even had. Don't delay any further - call us today.
