We are here to fight for you.

Post Conviction

Post conviction relief is available to people who have been convicted or pled guilty to a crime. You are entitled to one post conviction hearing in which you can raise issues like ineffective assistance of counsel, prosecutorial misconduct, or involuntary plea. We thoroughly review the record and strategically applying a post-conviction theory seeking a new trial, sentence modification, or other motion. Contact us to determine if you qualify for potential post conviction relief.

Appeals

Appellate practice is specialized and unique from advocacy on the trial level. Our appellate record is significantly higher than the state average and we have years of experience navigating the appellate courts. We are determined, intentional, and methodical in overturning unfavorable decisions or protecting successful verdicts. The process can be long and arduous but it is a fight in which we thrive.

We work with felonies, misdemeanors, white-collar offenses, drug offenses, traffic/DUI, violations of probation, assault allegations, gun charges, murder cases, and more. The earlier you act, the stronger your defense. Call today.
