Criminal Appeals Attorney in Missouri | Statewide Appellate Practice by Ernst Law
Not every case ends with a fair outcome. At Ernst Law, we help clients across Missouri challenge unjust convictions and sentencing errors through the criminal appeals process. With experience arguing in every Missouri Court of Appeals district, we bring strategic insight, strong legal writing, and a sharp eye for procedural and constitutional error to every appeal we take on.
Statewide Reach — Focused Appellate Representation
Unlike trial court practice, criminal appeals are about identifying legal errors made during the initial case and presenting them effectively to a higher court. That means your appellate attorney must be thorough, precise, and persuasive — in both written and oral advocacy.
Whether you were represented by another attorney at trial or are appealing after a guilty plea or sentencing, Ernst Law can help you:
Review trial transcripts and court records
Identify viable grounds for appeal
Draft and file appellate briefs
Present oral argument before Missouri appellate judges
Navigate post-conviction relief options if appeals are time-barred
We represent clients in:
The Eastern, Western, and Southern District Courts of Appeals
The Missouri Supreme Court, when accepted for transfer or original jurisdiction
Post-conviction relief actions under Rule 29.15 or Rule 24.035
Appeals Are Complex — We’re Built for Them
Appellate advocacy demands a different skillset than trial work. It’s less about courtroom theatrics and more about rigorous research, logical argument, and persuasive writing. At Ernst Law, appellate work is a core part of our mission.
If you believe your case was mishandled or your rights were violated, time is critical. Appeals have strict deadlines. Call Ernst Law today to discuss your options for a criminal appeal anywhere in Missouri.
