Georgia Appeals Process
What is the process to appeal a decision made by the courts? This is a question that you don't want to figure out on your own. The appellate process can be an exhausting and challenging experience in the Georgia appellate courts, especially if you lack extensive legal experience. The Atlanta state appeals attorneys at Nick Lotito & Seth Kirschenbaum have handled countless state appeals and have obtained successful results for many clients. We will use our comprehensive experience with the Georgia legal system to guide you through the process of appealing your criminal case.
When a higher court examines the decision of a lower court and either affirms or reverses the decision, an appeal occurs. There are various types of appeals that could take place. Working with a team of respected lawyers like Nick Lotito & Seth Kirschenbaum can give you a better understanding of the different procedures and processes.
If a person has been convicted after a trial in one of the county court systems, the defendant can request a new trial through a motion for new trial. This gives the defendant another chance to prove that he/she was wrongly convicted and that the evidence against him/her is insufficient.
Courts do not grant motions for new trials very frequently, so defendants have other chances for direct appeal. We have successfully helped many of our clients navigate their options and the rules for a direct appeal. If a direct appeal is granted, we can help guide our clients through the process for a petition for habeas relief and help resolve their legal problems.

Client Testimonials

- Previous Client
When I found myself facing multiple federal charges, I honestly thought my life was over. I was woken out of my sleep while lying next to my newborn at 5AM when they came to arrest me. It turned my world upside down. After looking at the Statistics, the probability of getting a dismissal in a federal case is around 5% and acquittal even lower, I felt hopeless.
From the moment I began working with Mr. Lotito, everything changed. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable and strategic, but truly one of the most compassionate, dedicated, and genuine professionals I have ever met. We talked about my situation for over an hour and then he invited me to his home to meet me in person. We spent hours discussing my case. Throughout the whole process I felt that he believed in me and it felt good to know he listened to my story. Other lawyers I spoke with immediately sent me retainer invoices before truly taking the time to listen.
His level of expertise is unmatched, but what sets him apart even more is how deeply he cares. He treated me with dignity, patience, and KINDNESS every step of the way. He kept me calm throughout the entire process and checked in with me regularly, which meant more than I can even explain.
After nearly two years of fighting, he was able to secure pretrial diversion for me, an outcome that will ultimately lead to a full dismissal. When you understand how rare that is, it speaks volumes about who he is and how hard he fights for his clients.
The moment I went to sign my diversion paperwork, he gave me a big hug, and I broke down crying tears of joy and relief.
I am so incredibly thankful for him and everything he has done.
If you are looking for an attorney who will fight relentlessly for you, stand by you, and truly care, I cannot recommend him highly enough.
