Appeals and Post Conviction Proceedings
If your criminal case resulted in conviction, the focus must turn toward post-conviction proceedings and appeals in order to reverse the conviction, reduce sentences, manage conditions of confinement, and, possibly, to obtain a new trial. With years of experience handling post conviction proceedings, we will explore every legal angle in reviewing a conviction.

Did you have a criminal defense lawyer that was ineffective? Were you uninformed or misinformed about the consequences of a guilty plea before you undertook it? Was critical evidence that could have exonerated you improperly suppressed? We know things don't always go the way you expect during your jury trial and mistakes are all too commonplace in our courts. If you lost a trial or mistakenly plead guilty, you need to try and overturn the conviction.
Lance Fletcher, a former prosecutor, will meticulously examine your trial transcripts and consider any and all possible grounds to overturn the conviction. Mr. Fletcher will consider, among other things, whether the Judge excluded important evidence, gave incorrect instructions to the jury, whether a sentencing error was made, any Constitutional Violations occurred, and whether the judge, prosecutor, or defense attorney committed reversible error.
We can also initiate a federal habeas corpus action (28 U.S.C. 2255 and 2254) which allows for federal review of criminal convictions where a defendant has lost his state appeals. Time is critical because deadlines apply, so call us today for a free consultation.
