Appeal against a sentence: main steps
Our team of professional lawyers provides a full range of services for preparing an appeal against a sentence. We begin with a detailed analysis of the first instance court decision, identify procedural errors or incorrect classification of the crime, and formulate clear grounds for appeal.
Next, we prepare a reasoned appeal, which is submitted to the court of appeal with professional arguments to maximise the chances of mitigating or overturning the verdict.
From the date of the verdict, you have only 30 days to file an appeal before the decision becomes final. Timely appeal allows you to suspend the execution of the verdict and start the appeal process without the risk of its enforcement. We ensure that deadlines are met and respond in a timely manner — we will not let you miss an important deadline.

Appealing a sentence gives you a chance to change or overturn an unfair court decision with professional legal support.

It is important to act quickly, as you only have 30 days to file an appeal, and the deadline can only be extended for valid reasons.
Documents and arguments for appealing a sentence
Key elements of the argument:
- Evidence of incomplete or false investigation of the case by the court of first instance.
- References to procedural violations, such as unlawful seizure of evidence or failure to observe the presumption of innocence.
- New circumstances that may affect the verdict may be grounds for a review of the case.
