Best Answer

If you feel that you received an unfair trial or were poorly represented in court, you can file an appeal of your trial findings to the next higher level of the court system, which in most states is the Court Of Appeals. You must be able to cite some specific legal reason for requesting a review of your case, not just the fact that you were "unhappy' with the verdict.
