Direct Appeals and Habeas Corpus

A direct appeal is limited to issues from trial. A direct appeal is your first chance to attack your conviction. In a direct appeal, you can raise errors that occurred during trial.

You may also pursue a habeas corpus review to raise issues of new evidence or information not known and discoverable at the time of trial. You may argue that a change in law by the legislature or new interpretations of law by higher courts constitutes grounds for relief.

Our firm has handled criminal appeals in a wide range of criminal cases, including sex crimes, murder, drug crimes, tax evasion, violent crimes, death penalty cases, prostitution rings, asset forfeiture, assault and money laundering. We have the ability to effectively handle any criminal appeal in state or federal court. Whereas some criminal defense firms have limited knowledge of federal cases, we have extensive experience with federal charges in addition to state charges.

Protect Your Rights

If you have been arrested for and are facing serious criminal charges, the attorney you choose is very important. It is critical to protect your future by retaining an experienced criminal defense attorney who is knowledgeable about the applicable statutes and case law relevant to your case. It is also critical to retain an attorney who has experience with criminal appeals. An attorney experienced with criminal appeals will know how to effectively preserve the record to effectively raise appeals in the event of a criminal conviction.

If you have already been convicted and need an attorney to fight for you, we encourage you to contact us for assistance.
