Civil & Criminal Appeals

Experienced Appeals Attorney Practicing Statewide in Montana

Under many circumstances, our legal system offers people who do not get justice the first time a second chance. An appeal may be a viable option after a civil or criminal trial if you believe the result was wrong — and that a mistake or ineffective legal counsel caused that outcome.

If you believe something about a recent criminal conviction or civil verdict and judgment is a costly miscarriage of justice, talk to us about it. Our Shelby-based law firm is a resource for people of all backgrounds across the state, and we offer a free initial consultation to discuss your potential appeal.

Versatility, Resourcefulness, and a Commitment to Obtaining Justice

Attorney Brad Aklestad has put his knowledge of several areas of law — including criminal defense work and natural resources law — to work taking on the unique challenge of appealing verdicts to a higher court. Our firm's experience in filing civil and criminal appeals includes cases involving:

  • Appeals of criminal convictions for deliberate homicide and DUI
  • Case results directly impacted by a court official's or trial lawyer's mistake
  • Valid motions to suppress evidence that were denied in error in the original trial

Trustworthy Counsel, Beginning with a Free Initial Consultation

We offer honest, straightforward counsel to all our clients. Mr. Aklestad will be responsive to you from day one, and we will only take your case on if we believe in it — not as a reason to charge you fees.

You will be informed and stay informed about the likely costs of pursuing your appeal — and have the opportunity to make your own decisions based on sound legal guidance. To talk with a lawyer you can trust, please call or e-mail our office today.
