Criminal Appeals
Criminal appeals typically challenge the legal rulings of the trial judge. When the judge makes a serious error, you may be entitled to a reduction in jail time or a new trial. You must file an appeal within 30 days of the final judgment in your case, or you may lose your right to appeal.
Post-Conviction
Petitions for Post-Conviction Relief attack the constitutionality of a verdict, usually by claiming that the trial attorney was ineffective. You have until 1 year after your last appeal to file for post-conviction relief.
Our experienced attorneys will help you determine whether an appeal, post-conviction, or both is appropriate in your case.
