Common Nevada Appeal Paths

Direct appeal from District Court judgment
Appeal from denial or grant of key motions that impact the verdict
Post-judgment orders that affect substantial rights

If you were convicted, contact us at once. The notice of appeal deadline is strict, missing it can be fatal to your rights.

Ninth Circuit Appeals

Federal convictions and certain post-judgment orders are appealable to the Ninth Circuit. Federal appellate rules require careful preservation and precise briefing.

Focus Areas

Constitutional rulings involving search, seizure, or confession
Evidentiary rulings that shaped the trial
Sentencing errors and guideline calculations

Process

Timely notice of appeal in the District Court
Record excerpts and transcript management
Opening, answering, and reply briefs that focus the issues
Oral argument preparation when granted

Federal deadlines arrive quickly. Early engagement preserves issues and keeps options open.

Appeals from Justice or Municipal Court

Misdemeanor convictions from Justice Court or Municipal Court can be appealed. The standard of review and procedures differ from District Court practice.

Key Points

Shorter deadlines and unique filing requirements
Record assembly can be limited, targeted requests matter
Issues include jurisdiction, evidentiary rulings, and sufficiency

Act quickly. These appeals move fast and deadlines control the outcome.

Issues on Appeal

Not every error wins an appeal. We prioritize rulings that likely changed the outcome, then present them with clear standards of review.

Examples

Fourth Amendment suppression rulings
Admission or exclusion of key evidence
Jury instruction errors that misstated the law
Insufficient evidence to support one or more counts
Prosecutorial misconduct that affected substantial rights
Sentencing error or illegal sentence
Cumulative error that rendered the trial unfair

We identify preserved issues, evaluate prejudice, and brief the ones that move the needle.

Deadlines and Next Steps

Appeal timelines are short and jurisdictional. Missing the notice deadline can end the appeal.
