Specialized Expertise in Appellate Law
Unlike general practice firms, we do not handle trials. Our sole focus is on the intricate legal arguments and procedures of the appellate courts. This specialization gives our clients a significant advantage in their fight to reverse a conviction or reduce a sentence.
- New York State Criminal Appeals: We handle appeals in all New York appellate courts, including the Appellate Divisions and the New York Court of Appeals, for both misdemeanor and felony convictions.
- Federal Criminal Appeals: We represent clients in all U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeals across the nation, tackling complex federal cases involving everything from white-collar crimes to narcotics convictions.
- Writs of Habeas Corpus: We prepare and file Habeas Corpus petitions in federal court, arguing that a conviction or sentence violates our client’s constitutional rights.
- Post-Conviction Motions (Article 440): We litigate post-conviction motions in New York, presenting new evidence or arguing ineffective assistance of trial counsel to vacate wrongful convictions.
- Specific Case Expertise: Our experience covers a vast range of serious convictions, including Homicide Appeals, Drug and Firearms Convictions, Mail and Wire Fraud, RICO, and Tax-Related Convictions.
