How do I file a criminal appeal?

Filing a criminal appeal in New Hampshire is a multi-step process. The first step is to obtain a copy of the Notice of Appeal from the court where you were convicted. This notice will provide instructions on how to file a criminal appeal and the time requirements for filing. Next, you will need to complete the Notice of Appeal and file it with the appropriate court. The Notice of Appeal must be filed within 30 days of the conviction or any other court order that you wish to appeal. After filing the Notice of Appeal, you must also submit copies of all the relevant documents and exhibits to the court within 10 days. Once your Notice of Appeal has been filed and all the necessary documents and exhibits have been submitted, the court will review your case and decide whether to grant your appeal. The court may also set a date for oral argument so that you can present your reasons for appealing the decision. If the court grants your appeal, they may order a new trial or reverse the decision. The court may also order a new sentence to be imposed if they find that the original sentence is inappropriate. If the court denies your appeal, you may then file an appeal to the state Supreme Court. No matter what the outcome, it is important to remember that filing an appeal is a complex and time-consuming process. It is important to research the specific procedures and requirements of the court that is handling your appeal before filing your Notice of Appeal.
