Federal Appeals Lawyer in California

The federal courts hear many different types of cases and a mistake can be made in any of them. However, there are some types of cases that form the basis of federal appeals more commonly than others. These are as follows:

• White collar crimes such as bribery, bank fraud, credit card fraud, insider trading, identify theft, and money laundering
• Wire fraud and mail fraud
• Drug offenses including trafficking, manufacturing, and conspiracy
• Weapon and firearm offenses
• Health care fraud

Just as a legal error can be made in any federal case, there are also many different types of mistakes that are made. The legal issues in a federal appeal can include an evidentiary issue, a procedural issue, or a constitutional issue. Some of the most common legal issues in federal appeals are as follows:

• U.S. Sentencing Guidelines
• Miranda rights
• Due process rights
• Arrest warrants
• Searches of homes and businesses
• Evidentiary rules
• Excessive sentencing, including cruel and unusual punishment
• Right to effective assistance of counsel
