Concerns about the Outcome of Your Case
Court agencies and entities usually cannot intervene to change what happened in your case. If you are unhappy with the decision that was made in your case, you may have a right to file an appeal to a higher court. There are strict deadlines and filing requirements that you must meet if you want to file an appeal.
