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

Typically they can only change a promised sentence if there's a change in circumstances. Was there a written agate? Oral? Did the judge take the plea and was the defendant promised a sentence and then change it based on new findings?

Need more facts. Id ask assigned counsel

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

You can lower your jail time for good behavior.

Your attorney knows the case better than any speculation that can be offered out here. It could depend on the type of case, and some appeals could take time, particularly if there is a difficult issue on which a higher court is not eager to overrule a lower court. Good luck

It usually doesn't take that long. Perhaps you should file a motion or send a letter to the judge requesting a prompt decision, and include the dates of the case.

Yes the bankruptcy stops the appeal.

A bankruptcy stops all legal proceedings unless someone files a motion to lift the automatic stay.

You might try a law school clinic which allows law students to learn while helping clients who lack the legal skills necessary to uncover evidence which may have been misinterpreted or not addressed. Of course if the evidence was not introduced into the record that will be problematic.

CPLR 2219 on motions. It is required.

They can be seen if you order the file at the court. It is not online.

Not if you did not intervene in the proceedings below.

You file a notice of appeal in the court that ruled, and then perfect the appeal in the Appellate Division. It is expensive, and you are very unlikely to succeed. Factual issues are only overturned if arbitrary, and custody matters are all factual.

It is very hard to appeal these decisions. Appeals take over a year, and during that time your kid cannot attend school. We have done them, but success is hard.

No. You are not next of kin.
