There is no "best way" to appeal any order from any judge in family court. The appellate standard is that the decision of a judge shall not be lightly overturned unless it lacks a sound and substantial basis in the record. This means that Carney, a Buffalo judge and former practitioner in... View More

Hi.

Attorneys are prohibited from soliciting in the Ask a Lawyer section. However, a search in the directory based on your needs should help you find good options for this matter.

Thanks.

Your post doesn't contain a question. If you want assistance with general information related to your situation, it would be helpful to understand what it is you want to know.

Notices of appeal are served on the attorneys on a case. It is up to the attorneys that represent parties to notify their clients. In a criminal case, you are not a party so you would not get notice.

I sorry your question remains open for two weeks. Only an experienced criminal defense attorney should advise here, but you're waiting for a response.

Yes, a district court's decision sets precedent for police department and can result in the change of police procedure. Two recent examples - ban of gravity knives unconstitutional (SDNY) and stop and frisk unconstitutional (SDNY). Both were district court decisions that resulted in changes to... View More

It could depend on what the matter involves. If it is something other than admission, retention, guardianship and other MHLS-related matters, a family member or friend could look into whether a private counsel could be arranged. Good luck

Consult with a defense attorney as the facts dont appear clear here.

You can lower your jail time for good behavior.

Need more facts. Id ask assigned counsel

First, I am not a New York lawyer. That being said, I would think your first avenue of appeal would be to the New York committee or the New York lawyers who conduct the NY bar exam. In Maryland, that would be the State Board of Law Examiners, overseen by the Court of Appeals or the Administrative... View More
