When you are considering an appeal against conviction or sentence, the quality of advice you receive can change the outcome of your case. Our platform connects you with solicitors who focus on criminal appeals, so you get clear, realistic guidance on whether you have grounds to appeal and what to do next.
We work with solicitors who regularly handle criminal appeals in the Crown Court and Court of Appeal. Their experience with conviction and sentence challenges means you get focused advice, not generic criminal law guidance.
The solicitors in our network have helped clients overturn unsafe convictions, reduce excessive sentences and secure out of time appeals. We connect you with practitioners who can show real appeal experience and results.
Our network spans England and Wales, so you can access criminal appeal specialists wherever your original case was heard. Local court knowledge combined with nationwide appeal expertise.
Every case is different. You will be matched with a solicitor who can review your trial or sentencing in detail and explain in plain English what your options are, including the strengths and risks of an appeal.
Criminal appeals are highly time sensitive, often with a 28 day deadline. Our network prioritises urgent enquiries so you can get advice on preserving your position and lodging an appeal in time.
We only work with solicitors who demonstrate strong client care and clear communication. Our service is built around honest advice, realistic prospects of success and keeping you informed at every stage.
"I thought there was nothing I could do after my Crown Court sentence, but the appeal solicitor explained everything clearly and spotted real issues with the judge's approach. My sentence was reduced and I finally felt like someone was on my side."
- S. Taylor, Manchester
"I contacted Criminal Appeal Solicitors not really knowing if I had any grounds. Within a day I was speaking to an appeal specialist who had already read my papers. Even though they were honest about the risks, their advice helped me make an informed decision and I do not regret appealing."
- R. Morgan, London
Complete our quick enquiry form with basic details about your conviction or sentence and any key dates or deadlines.
A specialist criminal appeal solicitor will call you to get some more details and to assess how we can proceed to help you. They will then reviews your situation and discusses whether you may have grounds to appeal and what the process involves.
If you want to proceed, you can instruct the solicitor directly to prepare and lodge your appeal and represent you at court.
Our initial appeal case referral service is free for individuals. If you decide to instruct a solicitor, they will explain their fees and any available funding options, such as legal aid where applicable or private fixed fees.
We aim for you to hear from a criminal appeal solicitor within one working day of your enquiry. Most enquiries are dealt with within 2 hours. Where deadlines are very tight, we flag your case as urgent so it can be prioritised.
At the start, basic details about your conviction or sentence and the date of the hearing is often enough. The solicitor will then tell you what documents they need, for example the indictment, sentencing remarks or any previous advice you received.
