Appealing a case
If a defendant goes to a court for a motion to suppress evidence and the motion is denied, how does he go about appealing it to a higher court? What steps need to be taken and how costly is it? Lastly, how long does it generally take to get an appeal date? This would be a first time thing, so please elaborate.
