An incalculable amount of stress and anxiety unfortunately
befalls those whose family member, friend or loved one has been wrongfully
convicted of a crime, or sentenced excessively.
The worst feeling of all is having to watch the world move on while the
injustice just witnessed becomes yesterday's news. "It's not supposed to happen here, in
this country!" (Sadly, it does
every day.) "Life just seems to
move on for everyone else! No one's listening!" (No one believes this really happens, until
it happens to their friends or family.)
Relief from the stress and anxiety can begin to take place
once an experienced appellate/post-conviction attorney is retained. On my YouTube page I've recorded several
short videos to assist you in selecting the right attorney for your case. Above all, you must "get in front
of" at least 2-3 attorneys, so that there is a basis for comparison. And keep the following in mind: (1) An attorney who doesn't make time for you
now, won't make time for you later. (2) When it comes to appeals and
post-conviction litigation, "cheaper" is never ever a good
thing. These cases grind out for at
least 1-3 years. The small fee paid to
an inexpensive lawyer will run out quickly, leaving him or her unmotivated to
continue with the fighting spirit which is essential if a win is going to be
procured. (3) A lawyer who can explain
the appellate/post-conviction process to you in easily-understood terms -
rather than regale you with "war stories" - is your best bet. If a lawyer can discuss these complex legal
proceedings in plain terms, then that lawyer most likely has a mastery of this
area of law.
No lawyer can guarantee that the injustice can be
remedied. Why? Because every appeal and post-conviction
motion is staunchly opposed by the government, and oftentimes the
judiciary. While some prosecutors will
work with a defense attorney who brings them proof of an injustice, most will not. But the right lawyer can give you and your
family member or friend the best chance for success.
If you have a friend or family member fighting the battle
for post-conviction relief, or if you are a lawyer trying to surmount the
hurdle in the way of receiving a COA, please call this office immediately. There are always time deadlines limiting when
these claims can be raised. If you wish
to learn more about the process, call now.
