Ogden Appeals Attorney

A lot of criminal cases are resolved by a plea agreement with the prosecutor which can solidify the possible outcome and provide certainty instead of a defendant simply having to take the risk of going before a judge and see what he or she decides. However, sometimes the judge strays from the plea agreement and sentences a different penalty then what was agreed upon. This is only one way that a defendant could end up with a result they are not happy with, the other obvious way is if the defendant goes to trial and is found guilty.

If you receive a conviction from the justice court then an appeal to the district court is basically like starting the case all over, the district court reviews it as if the case just started and its a very similar process.
