Appeals & Miscarriages of Justice

Criminal Appeals

DJMS Solicitors have expertise and experience in all areas of the criminal appeals process. Once a case has reached the appeals stage, it is essential that expert lawyers are available to address the complex elements of your case.

DJMS are often instructed to review cases with a view to establishing whether there are any grounds for challenging a decision of the prosecuting authorities or the Court or appealing a defendant’s conviction or sentence.

Whether we acted for you in your original matter, or if you were represented by another firm, you can call upon our experience and proficiency to analyse your legal position and explore your options. This may involve assisting you to make representations to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), and whatever your position, if you have grounds for an appeal, we will find them.

The department is also competent in all aspects of Judicial Review relating to criminal appeals.
