What is a DUI Appeal?
An appeal is a request to a higher court to review a decision made by a lower court. In the case of a DUI, an appeal could question the validity of the conviction based on various legal grounds. This step is crucial for those who believe they have been wrongfully convicted or who feel that their case was marred by legal missteps.

Reasons for Appealing a DUI Conviction

The Role of Evidence in a DUI Appeal

Evidence plays a pivotal role in the appeals process. A DUI appeal often hinges on whether the evidence was legally obtained and properly considered. When appealing a DUI conviction, scrutinizing the evidence is a task that should be handled with precision and keen legal insight.
Our team at Henderson Kevin works closely with attorneys who focus on examining each piece of evidence with a critical eye, challenging its validity and impact on your conviction. We champion thoroughness in building the strongest possible appeal on your behalf.
Evaluating the Legality of the Evidence
One key aspect of the appeal is determining the legality of the evidence used in the original trial. Was the traffic stop lawful? Were breathalyzer tests administered correctly? These questions can be pivotal to your appeal.
Henderson Kevin ensures that these factors are thoroughly investigated by adept attorneys who are familiar with the most current laws and regulations pertaining to DUI cases. Your defense starts with a solid foundation of fact-checking and legal expertise.
Questioning the Admissibility of Evidence
Admissibility isn't just about the evidence itself; it's about how it was acquired, handled, and presented. Henderson Kevin and our associated attorneys delve into the details, seeking any procedural mistakes or oversights that could make crucial evidence inadmissible.
Our meticulous approach can uncover discrepancies that might have been overlooked during your trial, providing solid ground for questioning the verdict and pushing for a reversal of the conviction.
Role of Expert Witnesses in Re-evaluating Evidence
Expert witnesses can offer a fresh perspective on the evidence. They bring a level of scrutiny that can challenge the assumptions made during the original trial.
Through Henderson Kevin, you gain access to a range of experts whose insights can reinforce the validity of your appeal, giving your case the edge it needs.
Impact of New Evidence on an Appeal
Sometimes, new evidence emerges after a conviction that could drastically affect the outcome of your case. Our attorneys are adept at introducing this evidence in a persuasive manner, potentially leading to a retrial or even exoneration.
We know how game-changing new evidence can be, and we at Henderson Kevin treat it with the gravity it deserves. Our priority is to ensure it is given due consideration in your pursuit of justice.
Leveraging Legal Technicalities and Procedural Errors

Constant vigilance and expert knowledge of the law are Henderson Kevin's hallmarks in recognizing these errors and using them to construct a powerful argument for your appeal.
Challenging Instruction Errors to the Jury
