We’ve pinpointed many errors over the last 40+ years, from judicial errors to prosecutorial misconduct. Below, we’ve listed some of the main reasons your case may qualify for an appeal in California.
If the Victorville prosecution didn’t provide sufficient proof of your guilt, the California Court of Appeals could grant your appeal. In this case, your attorney would argue that the jury based their decision on emotions rather than the facts. Unfortunately, emotions affect the outcomes of many trials. Since juries are instructed to consider only the evidence presented in court, any conviction based on emotion is a violation of California law and your rights.
If the state wrongfully convicted you of a crime without sufficient evidence, our appeals lawyers at Wallin & Klarich are here for you! We’ll fight to protect your rights. Call us today for your free consultation.
“Prosecutorial misconduct” occurs when a prosecutor oversteps the boundaries of the law. California has established clear guidelines regarding what the prosecution can do and say during a trial. When they violate the rules, it can impact the jury’s verdict. If this happened, the court of appeals could reverse your conviction.
Our attorneys have represented cases where prosecutorial conduct occurred. So, we know how to identify when it occurs. We’ve listed a few examples of prosecutorial misconduct below.
There are legal remedies available for prosecutorial misconduct. Under Penal Code 1181, the appellate court can declare a mistrial and grant you a new trial if the panel finds misconduct impacted the outcome of your trial. You should contact our office immediately to find out if this is a viable option for you.
In every trial, jurors swear to uphold justice and follow the law. When they violate the judge’s instructions, it leads to an unfair trial. With over 40 years of experience, we know what constitutes “juror misconduct.” Our attorneys can examine your case and tell you if the jury’s actions warrant an appeal. You’ll find a few examples of juror misconduct below.
Judges make accidental and sometimes careless errors. These types of errors can significantly impact the outcome of your case. Below, you’ll find a few examples of judicial errors in Victorville.
If we determine a judicial error influenced your trial, we can argue your appeal on this basis. If successful, the court could dismiss your conviction. If you think the judge showed a bias for the prosecution or made another error, consult with our Victorville appeal lawyers today!
If your defense lawyer was ineffective, we could present your appeal to the Court of Appeals on these grounds. However, the judges will want to see evidence that your past lawyer did not perform their duties, which include but are not limited to:
Our attorneys consider this breach of client-attorney trust particularly offensive. We take their duties very seriously. Let us provide the representation and guidance you deserve. Call our office today!
A “reversible error” warrants an automatic reversal. If the appellate court finds a “reversible error,” the lower court will choose whether to retry the case or drop the judgment against you. You’ll find some examples of reversible errors below.
On the other hand, “harmless errors” do not call for an automatic reversal. When the appellate court reviews these errors, this is known as a “harmless error” analysis. The process for the analysis is very complex and varies depending on the specific error claimed.
We can explain each step of your appeal in more detail during our initial consultation. Contact our skilled Victorville appeal lawyers at Wallin & Klarich today!

Wallin & Klarich heard my story and represented me in court. The case was dropped and removed from my record and all I had to do was explain me side to the attorneys in advance of the court sessions. I didn't even have to appear in court. Highly recommend!”
