The Wyatt Law Office files appeals on behalf of clients in federal and state courts.  Bob Wyatt is licensed in all Oklahoma appellate courts and in the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the 8th and 10th Circuits.  He is also licensed to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States. 

Whether represented at trial by the Wyatt Law Office, we can file your appeal.  For state criminal convictions, the appeal is filed with the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals (the highest criminal court in Oklahoma).  For civil appeals, the case is filed with the Oklahoma Supreme Court, which may refer the case to the Court of Civil Appeals.  In federal court cases, the appeal is made to the regional appellate court.  For Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, all appeals (civil and criminal) are filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. 

The Wyatt Law Office also represents clients in extradition hearings, extraordinary writs (habeas corpus, coram nobis, mandamus, prohibition, etc.), defense of capital (death penalty) crimes, property forfeiture cases, and in appeals in both state and federal courts. In matters pending before the United States District Courts, the firm consults on or represents clients at sentencing or in related matters including but not limited to Motions for New Trial or Abatement, and Motions to Withdraw Guilty Pleas; sentence reduction matters (Rule 35), and applications for post-conviction relief (28 U.S.C. Section 2255).

An example of Wyatt's work can be seen from the reversal of 106 counts in December 2003. Bob Wyatt was engaged to represent a NW Oklahoma resident who had previously been convicted of 106 counts of uttering forged securities and engaging in illegal monetary transactions (effectively money laundering).  The client sought habeas corpus relief for among other things ineffective assistance of his former trial counsel and conflict of interest.  A new trial was ordered. After yet another conviction on those same charges in 2004, Wyatt appealed again, this time (in 2006) with the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals directing a Judgment of Acquittal ("not guilty) -- meaning that the client is a free man and the government cannot try him again.  United States v. Hunt, 456 F.3d 1255 (10th Cir.2006).

Recent & Noteworthy Appeals Results

Government's Appeal in Child Porn Case Dismissed:   As a result of Wyatt's efforts to convince a federal judge to vary from the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines after a "guilty plea" in a child pornography possession case, the federal prosecutor appealed the "reduced" sentence to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit (Denver). After Wyatt's response brief was filed, the prosecution filed a motion to dismiss its appeal -- leaving the client's very favorable sentence intact. (2008) *
