Sure, but then you might have some valid defenses, and there is not a crime called this, it is usually possession, and can even be constructive possession, but there usually are defenses if you for instance did not know that the drugs were there.

Then start calling appellate attorneys and getting estimates. Mandamus is not easy, indeed, no appeals are easy. The relief afforded by appellate courts is sometimes very curtailed.

It is way too late to withdraw his plea, the type of motion is called a 3.850 for ineffective assistance of counsel. You will have to contact an attorney and actually hire one to look into what might be possible for your brother. The gain time was different in 1989, with many prisoners only doing a... View More

Perhaps. More facts are needed to answer this question.

What you might want to do is hire another attorney to make a motion to withdraw the plea.

The public defender is the pro bono attorney. Their appellate divisions are great. You will not find a private one to do appellate work for free. What are the issues?

The time to appeal is within 30 days. The time to make objections to a ruling of a general master or magistrate is 10 days. The time to make a motion to amend is 10 days. Get an attorney if you do not have one already.

One would have to read the decision from the appellate court in order to know the context and answer this question. Give us a citation, and we will be glad to tell you what might have been meant. Just the phrase, in this case, is simply not enough.
I won an OSHA appeal and the attorney for the solicitors office told me in May 2012 that it would probably be filed by July 4, 2012 after the Department of Justice gave the final approval. I have not heard anything.

Well then contact that attorney and ask when the case will be filed.
Case Number: 8:2010cv02003. I need a Florida attorney or a law student to help me go Pro Se on filing an appeal.

There is no way an attorney can tell you what the chances are without knowing all of the facts.

In order to appeal a decision, you must file a notice of appeal with the lower court within 30 days. Many things are required, like designating the record, etc. Then you would need to prepare a brief to submit to the appellate court. When the opponent files a brief, you have 20 days to file another... View More

You are asking for an opinion which would take hours to develop. This is not a simple question that can be answered without research. Interpretation of cases is research. You need to give the citations for the cases or copies of the cases in order for an attorney to answer. I would be glad to give... View More

Unless there was some error committed by the trial court, and there is a transcript of the trial, an appeal may be unwarranted. It would take reviewing the final judgment and transcript to see if there are any reversible errors worth appealing.

I want to appeal the FJ of repeat violence injunction..(stalking) Petitioner used all evidence to get injunction from my blog (internet only)
answered on Jun 26, 2012
No. The injunction would remain in effect until the appellate court reversed it.
answered on Jun 26, 2012
This is a confusing question that cannot be answered. Facts are necessary like the grounds for the motion. A copy of the motion itself would be best, as well as a copy of the ruling.
answered on Jun 26, 2012
You would have had to appeal within 30 days of the final judgment.
answered on Jun 26, 2012
That depends upon the experience of the attorney. The filing fee is 250, court costs can be in the thousands, and a reasonable attorney's fee ranges from 2500 and up depending upon the complexity of the case.
