I am acting on behalf of someone who has been accused. 12 months ago, he was initially charged with a Class 2 Burglary Felony, which after plea agreement was reduced to a Class A Theft. After reviewing his records, he determined that he wanted to appeal his case, as he did not understand the implications of the sentencing nor did the state's attorney have sufficient evidence/witnesses to prove the charge. Is it too late or is this case still within the statute of limitations?
Can you a Appeal a Felony after a Plea Agreement?

We have a resource center that shows the statute of limitations for both Misdemeanors and Felonies by state. Laws can frequently change and the trend with statute of limitations is to increase the time range. Ultimately, you should consult with an attorney licensed in your state to help appellees review your case as there are several factors that come into play. Please visit our section on Criminal Defense Statute of Limitations which provides statutes for all 50 states.
If you or a loved one may have been charged with a criminal offense and are not aware of your legal rights or timeline constraints, contact a Criminal Defense Attorney to review the details of your case.
