When Should I File A Motion For A New Trial?
At the Zen Law Firm, we understand the importance of appeals and are well-versed in the appellate process. Part of this includes filing motions for a new trial. In Texas, if you have reason to believe that an egregious error was made during the initial trial, you can file a motion to have the previous judgment thrown out so that a new trial can take place.
Errors that could call for the need for a motion for a new trial include:
- Errors that misled the jury
- Bribery that affected the judge
- Intentionally destroyed evidence
- Factors that cause the defendant to not have a fair, impartial trial

"In Good Hands"
Jason and I spoke on the phone as long as I needed to know that I was in good hands. Over the next two months, between a couple phone calls and some texts, and following Jason's advice, my case was dismissed.- Patrick L. -
"Affordable & Dependable"
Jason was very kind, very thorough and not judgemental. I was scared on the first day of court and he reassured me and got me an amazing deal that day so we wouldn't have to go back to court.- Faythe S. -
"Proactive Communication"
His responsiveness and attention to detail made all the difference in my case, and I can only imagine how hard he would fight for clients in more critical situations.- Doug C. -
"Surpassed My Expectations"
Jason has surpassed my expectations and got it dismissed without me even having to attend a court date. We had other questions on other matters and gave us great advice on those also.- Zach R.
