Appeals and habeas corpus petitions provide options for attempting correct some element of practice or procedure lead to an error and resulted in a conviction.
Appeals in Criminal Cases
Often during a trial decisions are made by the judge that may provide grounds for an appeal. To allow a witness to testify on some question or to allow an item to be admitted as evidence often generates an objection by one of the parties. This objection forms the basis for an appeal, where the defendant will ask an appellate court to review the decision to allow a witness to testify, with the claim being the witness was unqualified to offer testimony.
Providing the kind of representation needed to identify the key legal issues forming the basis for an appeal is only the beginning. Our experienced attorneys have the knowledge developed during trial to be persuasive advocates with appeals, successfully arguing complex and difficult in cases involving:
- Federal charges
- Violent crimes
- Sex offenses
- White collar crimes
- Drug offenses
- Fraud charges
- Firearm Offenses
Writ of Habeas Corpus
Habeas corpus is a legal process that is essentially the last opportunity for someone to seek relief against a criminal conviction. Granted at the discretion of the court, this process requires filing a petition demonstrating to the court that the conviction was flawed and holding the defendant in custody is therefore illegal. Our firm handles these special cases when:
- Errors were committed in the original trial
- The original defense lawyer was incompetent or ineffective
- A constitutional right was violated
