Miller has appeared before the United States and New Jersey Supreme Courts, New Jersey Appellate Division, and Federal Circuit Courts of Appeal. Please review an excellent legal brief that Gilbert Miller submitted to the New Jersey Supreme Court in a landmark criminal search and seizure case, State of New Jersey v. Eckel.

 Who Can Appeal?

No matter what your case, if you lost a jury trial, you have the absolute right to appeal any final New Jersey trial court judgment to the next highest court as a matter of right. An experienced New Jersey appeals lawyer can help you decide whether an appeal has a good chance of success and would be worth the stress and money involved.

Can New Evidence Be Submitted?

Generally, appeals process rules do not allow new evidence to be submitted to the appeals court. The court will decide the appeal based on "the record" presented before the trial court. In very unusual circumstances, our attorneys can file a motion to supplement the record with added material.

Does an Appeal Postpone a Judgment?

An appeal does not automatically stay (i.e.. suspend) a Defendant's obligation to pay a money judgment or the imposition of a sentence or fines. In order to suspend the obligation, a motion for a stay pending appeal must be made in the Trial Court, or if denied, the Appellate Division.
What Are My Chances on Appeal?

There is no way to predict the numerical odds for success in an appeal. Each case is unique and must be carefully and painstakingly combed through by experienced and competent New Jersey appeals lawyers to review for defects.
