Yes, provided you have the grounds for an appeal. It is a lengthy and complicated process for which you would need to retain a criminal attorney who is familiar with the appeal process. I do not recommend that you try this alone.

Yes, but you have only twenty days from the date of conviction to file an appeal with the Superior Court of New Jersey. In some instances, appeal are allowed, out of time, upon the successful filing of a motion with the Court to permit same.

Yes you can, but you will need to show that there was an error in the way your trial was conducted.

You can appeal a guilty verdict if you file a notice of appeal within 30 days. If you plead guilty you can also appeal unless you waived your right to appeal, which would severely limit the grounds to appeal. less than 5% of appeals are successful, and that just gets you a new trial, not a dismissal.You have a right to an assigned lawyer to appeal, but if you want to win you should retain an appeal expert, his chances are a little better.
