An unfavourable outcome at first instance is not necessarily the end of the road. Sam has experience advising and representing clients in criminal appeals.

This includes:

Conviction and Sentence appeals to Court of Appeal of New Zealand

Applications for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of New Zealand


A successful appeal requires meticulous analysis of the trial record, identification of legal error, and persuasive written and oral submissions. Sam's background as a Crown Solicitor — where he regularly appeared as a respondent in the Court of Appeal — gives him a detailed understanding of what appellate courts look for.

Strict time limits apply to appeals. If you believe an error has been made in your case, contact Sam as soon as possible for a confidential consultation.
