What Is A Wisconsin Criminal Appeal?

Question: What is a Wisconsin criminal appeal and who is eligible?

Answer: In Wisconsin, in our line of work, there are two types of appeals: there are appeals for criminal cases and there are appeals for forfeiture violations, like a first offense drunk driving. Anyone with a conviction is eligible to file an appeal; however, you need to be very careful to let your lawyer know that you want to file that appeal as soon as possible so the deadlines are met.
