Appeals

We represent many individuals who have been convicted of a criminal offense and wish to appeal that conviction.  There are many different types of appeals in Washington state.  First, you can appeal a misdemeanor conviction up to the County Superior Court.  Second, you can appeal a felony conviction up to the State Court of Appeals.  Finally, you can appeal administrative decisions, such as Department of Licensing driver's license revocations, up to the State Superior Court.  Generally, you cannot appeal a guilty plea.  However, if you have already pled guilty, you can collaterally attack a guilty plea.  For instance, you can sometimes move to withdraw a guilty plea.

If you are interested in appealing a conviction or judgment against you, you should contact a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible because there are very strict deadlines when appealing cases.  In order to appeal misdemeanor and felony convictions and administrative decisions, you must file a notice of appeal within 30 days after the date of entry of the final decision which the party filing the notice seeks to appeal.
