Notice of Right to Appeal After Trial

A finding can only be appealed if the case went to trial and there was a finding of guilty. If a defendant makes a plea of "no contest" there is no right to appeal.  

If you decide to appeal, you must file a written notice with both the municipal judge and the other party and pay the required appeal fees and bond amount within 20 calendar days from the judgment date. The time for filing an appeal cannot be extended by the Municipal Judge. Choose one of the three forms of appeal explained below by completing and filing the notice along with the appropriate fees and bond.

Please fill out the Right to Appeal Form and submit with payment. Appeal requests and payments must be made in person or via mail. We cannot accept online appeal requests or payments.

Notice of Right to Appeal Other Non-Trial Orders

Pursuant to Wisconsin State Statute 800.14 provides that you have the right to appeal to the Brown County Circuit Court for denial of relief from judgment, indigency determination, or other non-trial orders. If you decide to appeal, you must provide written notice of your decision to do so with the Ashwaubenon Municipal Court and the village attorney and pay the statutorily required appeal fees and costs within (twenty) 20 days from the above date (if weekend/holiday, next business day). Time for filing an appeal cannot be extended by the municipal court judge.
