Conklin Law Firm – Atlanta, GA

Georgia’s Premier Criminal Appeals Specialists

Conklin Law Firm is a specialized legal practice based in the Brookwood area of Atlanta, focused exclusively on criminal appeals and post-conviction relief. Founded by Attorney Tyler Conklin, who spent years as a Senior Staff Attorney for the Georgia Public Defender Council’s Appellate Division, the firm brings unmatched expertise to the appellate process. Unlike trial lawyers who handle appeals on the side, Conklin Law Firm dedicates 100% of its resources to fighting for clients after a conviction has been handed down. They understand that the appellate process is a distinct legal battlefield requiring meticulous research, superior writing skills, and a deep understanding of judicial precedent. The firm’s mission is to uncover errors made during trial and secure a second chance for freedom for their clients.

Focused Post-Conviction Services

The firm handles the complex legal procedures that occur after a trial verdict. If you or a loved one has been wrongfully convicted or received an unfair sentence, Conklin Law Firm offers the specialized advocacy needed to challenge the court’s decision.

• Criminal Appeals: challenging convictions in the Georgia Court of Appeals and Supreme Court based on legal errors, misconduct, or insufficient evidence.
• Habeas Corpus: Filing petitions to challenge unlawful detention when direct appeals have been exhausted, often based on constitutional violations.
• Parole Representation: Advocating before the Board of Pardons and Paroles to help eligible inmates secure release and reintegrate into society.
• Motion for New Trial: Arguing before the trial judge that significant errors occurred, warranting a fresh start.
• Sentence Modification: Seeking reductions in harsh sentences to ensure fairness and proportionality.

Dedicated to Second Chances

Tyler Conklin has handled hundreds of appeals, ranging from drug offenses to serious violent crimes. He is known for his tenacity and his ability to find ”needles in the haystack” within trial transcripts. The firm offers free consultations to review the viability of an appeal.
