If you find yourself in a situation where you are not satisfied with the outcome of a case and want to explore more options, you have legal aid available to file an appeal in court. The team at Knochel Law Office in Bullhead City, Arizona, has helped many clients appeal an unfavorable court outcome and will work closely with you to develop your case. 

Here’s what you need to know about appealing court outcomes:

• Understand Your Rights: If you feel your lawyer did not represent you in the most favorable way, or your case should have been handled differently, you may be able to seek legal aid and counsel from another lawyer. You can search for an attorney who will review your situation in detail and determine whether you are eligible for an appeal based on your unique circumstances.
• You Must Be The Impacted Party: You can only appeal a court outcome if your party lost the ruling. You cannot appeal if you were the party who won the trial and are simply looking for more compensation or want to reopen the case.
• File On Time: You are not entitled to file an appeal until you have officially entered your judgment. You will receive a copy of your judgment in the mail and, in most cases, will have between 30 and 60 days to file your appeal. Getting legal aid and advice from an experienced appellate attorney will help you meet filing deadlines.

Revisiting a case isn't easy, but if you're unhappy about the ruling, it may be in your best interest to appeal. You can turn to Knochel Law Office in Bullhead City for legal aid and representation when you're appealing court outcomes.
