The journey to potentially overturning a DUI conviction is one we have embarked on many times, and we're here to chart the course with you. Each case is like a fingerprint unique and deserving of individualized attention, which is why we offer personalized support every step of the way.

Simply put, a DUI appeal is your legal right to request a higher court to review the decision of a lower court. The appeal isn't a retrial but a review to see if legal errors happened that could have affected the outcome of your case. It's crucial to understand this point because the grounds for an appeal are based not on guilt or innocence but on whether all proper legal procedures were followed.

If you believe your DUI conviction resulted from an error or an unfair trial, an appeal might be the right move. Douglas Bender & Assoc can provide you with the resources to assess your situation and determine if an appeal is plausible.

Not every DUI conviction can be appealed. There are certain criteria that must be met before even embarking on this journey. Typically, you must have a legitimate reason, such as procedural errors, misinterpretation of the law, or newly discovered evidence that could significantly impact your case. Determining your eligibility is the first critical step in the process.

Our team at Douglas Bender & Assoc stands ready to help you understand if your case meets the threshold for an appeal. We'll look at the specifics of your situation and provide expert advice on the best course of action.
