What Does a Colorado Appeals Lawyer Do?
A Colorado appeals lawyer – or, in the case of Brighter DaySM Law, our appellate attorney for the Court of Appeals and Colorado Supreme Court – is responsible for refiling or repetitioning for a case to be opened in and looked at by a higher court after a lower court already decided for that case. Which court the new appealed case ends up in depends on where the initial case originated or was opened. In Colorado, appeal cases typically go first to a state district court in the same county as the original court, or they can be filed in the Colorado Court of Appeals. A final appeal may be filed with the Colorado Supreme Court.
Our Colorado Appeals Lawyer Can Help You Prove That You Are Legally Entitled to an Appeal
A common question faced by Brighter DaySM Law’s appellate attorney for the Court of Appeals and Colorado Supreme Court is when, why, and under what circumstances an appeal can be filed. It is important to understand that a case that you lost in a lower court cannot be appealed, reopened, and submitted to a higher court in the hopes of receiving a more favorable result just because you did not like the decision of the lower court. You need recognized legal grounds to object to, contest, appeal, and refile your case with a higher court.
Furthermore, the legal grounds you use to appeal your case must also be substantial enough to have had a provable impact on the result of your case. This means that errors made by your legal team and other incidental mistakes may not – at least on their own – qualify you for filing an appeal.

- Legal or factual misunderstandings of the evidence provided during the case;
- Procedural or legal mistakes, including actions that qualify as being illegal, such as the suppression of evidence;
- Any violations of the rights of a party involved in the case;
- Sentences or orders meted out by the court that are not commensurate to the severity of the case.

When cases are revisited by a higher court via an appeal, only the evidence that was put forth in the original case can be used. The main differences between the original and the appealed case come down to how the case evidence is presented and which legal arguments are made based on that evidence. Also, your appellate attorney for the Court of Appeals and Colorado Supreme Court with Brighter DaySM Law will avoid the factual and/or legal errors that led to the original court’s ruling that necessitated an appeal in the first place.

Frequently Asked Questions Faced by Brighter Day Law’s Colorado Appeals Lawyer
As long as you have legal grounds for filing an appeal, you can contest the order or verdict of a lower court by appealing to a higher court. The rules and laws that govern how, when, and where a court ruling can be contested and appealed can be complex and they vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction (and they vary across crimes and law categories as well). An experienced Colorado appeals lawyer should be consulted for assistance with this process.
If you miss your deadline, you lose the right to appeal. You must file an appeal with the right court (municipal, state, or federal court) by the applicable deadline. The deadline will depend on the court and the type of case being appealed. For example, appeals from municipal courts must be filed between 14 and 35 days of a final order from the court; for district courts, they must be filed within 49 days of a final order. Tax court cases must be filed within 90 days of a final order being entered into the court’s records and appeals from district courts handling a civil case must be filed within 30 days of a final order. However, appeals in bankruptcy and district courts handling criminal cases must be made within 14 days. It is best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to avoid missing your appeal deadline.
