Criminal Conviction Appeals

Olathe, Kansas, Criminal Conviction Appeals Lawyers

Under the constitution and the laws of the United States, you have the right to apply for an appeal if you feel you have been wrongly convicted of a federal or state crime. Appealing your conviction is not the same as a retrial. An appeal simply means that you are requesting that the record and evidence of your initial trial gets thoroughly examined to determine whether any irregularities occurred that violated your rights to due process and a fair trial.

We can also help you file a motion in the trial court. Then on appeal, set aside your conviction because your trial contained fundamental constitutional errors such as, your attorney was ineffective and failed to investigate your case, the state failed to disclose vital evidence to you, or you have new evidence you would like to present to demonstrate your innocence. This is called a post-conviction or habeas corpus appeal. We work with investigators who will do what your trial attorney failed to do to present your case of innocence. Then we will file motions in court to try to get your innocence restored and justice to prevail.
