Helping You Challenge a Court’s Decision with Experience and Precision

At Cannon Bruns & Murphy, LLC, we understand how disheartening it can be when a court decision doesn’t go your way. But a judgment is not always the end of the road. If you believe a legal error impacted the outcome of your case, our team is here to help you explore the option of an appeal. With extensive experience in the Indiana Court of Appeals and multiple published decisions, our firm offers the insight and advocacy needed to navigate this complex legal process.



Our attorneys are well-versed in identifying reversible legal errors, preparing persuasive appellate briefs, and delivering compelling oral arguments. Whether your appeal stems from a criminal conviction, a family court ruling, or a civil dispute, we approach every case with the diligence it deserves—focused on protecting your rights and ensuring the law is applied fairly.

When to Consider an Appeal

Appeals are not second trials—they are legal reviews focused on how the original case was handled. You may be eligible for an appeal if:



  • The court misapplied or misunderstood the law
  • Evidence was wrongfully admitted or excluded
  • The judge’s instructions to the jury were incorrect
  • Your constitutional rights were violated during the trial
  • There was an abuse of discretion or procedural error


If any of these issues occurred in your case, our attorneys can assess your case file and provide clear guidance on your appellate options.

Our Appellate Services Include:

  • Criminal Appeals – Challenging convictions and sentencing errors
  • Civil Appeals – Reviewing trial court decisions in family, probate, or general civil matters
  • Brief Writing & Research – Crafting precise, persuasive legal arguments
  • Oral Advocacy – Presenting your appeal before Indiana’s appellate courts
  • Post-Conviction Relief – Exploring alternative remedies when appeals are not available

Decades of Appellate Insight

Attorney Brandon E. Murphy has personally handled over 50 appellate cases, including multiple published opinions from the Indiana Court of Appeals. His depth of experience ensures your case is presented with clarity, credibility, and strength—whether it’s before a panel of appellate judges or in written briefing.

Protect Your Rights—Even After Trial
