Appeals are difficult and complex legal matters. They are not like a trial and therefore very
different legal skills and abilities are required in order
to obtain success on appeal.
Appellate and related work is the only type of law practiced by Mr. Bloos and he brings
considerable professional and practical experience to all
matters for which he is engaged. There are three specific advantages to hiring an appellate counsel which you may want to consider.
- First, Appellate counsel will engage in a fresh review of your case. Because he or she was not the
lawyer who handled your trial or sentencing, your appellate counsel will examine your case objectively and will not be
hesitant to identify and raise any errors made by trial counsel.
- Second, appellate counsel are engaged full time in appellate work and regularly appear in Courts of
Appeal, therefore they know what errors to look for and how to develop such errors into successful arguments on appeal.
- Finally, an Appellate lawyer offers very valuable experience, skills and ability that can only be gained through regular
appearance and practice in the appellate courts. This is a very important advantage that few trial lawyers can offer.
Your appeal is your last chance to correct any mistakes that were made in your case. To be successful on appeal
you will need the help of experienced appellate counsel.

cases before the Supreme Court of Canada and has overturned numerous convictions for murder,
