Motions For New Trial Attorney In Atlanta, Georgia

What Is a Motion for New Trial?

A Motion for New Trial is a legal request made after a conviction, asking the court to set aside the verdict and grant a new trial due to errors that may have affected the outcome. In Georgia, this motion must typically be filed within 30 days of the final judgment—so time is critical.


Grounds for a new trial can include:


  • Improper jury instructions
  • Misconduct by the jury, prosecution, or judge
  • Newly discovered evidence that could impact the verdict
  • Legal errors made during the trial
  • Ineffective assistance of counsel


If you've been convicted of a crime, this motion may be your first and most important opportunity to challenge the result. It’s not an automatic right, and the arguments must be carefully crafted based on the trial record and applicable law.
