Attorney Randall E. Reagan is experienced and qualified in representing criminal defendants on appeal in both State and Federal courts.

Individuals who have been convicted of a crime by a jury or by a judge sitting without a jury are entitled to a review of their convictions on appeal by at least one higher court. A defendant may appeal from the finding of guilt or from the sentence imposed or both.

In some circumstances, the government may seek review of the sentence imposed on a defendant. In the case of a conviction resulting from a defendant’s plea of guilty, there is ordinarily no right to an appeal, but in some circumstances, a sentence imposed after a guilty plea may be reviewed on appeal. In some cases a defendant may ask the trial judge who imposed the sentence to reduce the sentence or alter the manner in which the sentence is to be served.
