Houston Appeals Attorney
Federal, State, Post Conviction, & Appellate
Under Texas law, a conviction is not the end. Criminal defendants convicted of a crime have a legal right to appeal their initial conviction to higher courts. This can even be true under circumstances in which the defendant has entered into a plea bargain with prosecutor. Defendants have the right to appeal their cases especially if the original defense attorney did not do a good job in providing the defendant with an exhaustive and vigorous criminal defense, or if the original attorney did not properly advise the defendants of their rights and options.
These incomplete, botched and poor initial criminal defense can have serious consequences if not addresses properly and in a timely fashion as a conviction has already been secured because of them and an individual's basic freedoms for an extended period of time fully depend on it.

Many of these poor initial criminal defense efforts result in and arise from poor examination of and access to all relevant evidence, committing procedural, technical or judgmental omissions or errors, and putting next to no effort in jury selection and pre-trial research.
At other times, an appeals may be required despite initial defense attorney's best efforts, usually in cases where the initial attorney lacks relevant experience or the appropriate resources such as knowledgeable expert and forensic witnesses.

"A lot of lawyers write on their websites that they "fight" and that they work "tirelessly" for their clients. The truth is that being a lawyer is more than just fighting or working tirelessly. It's knowing what to do at the right moment to get a fantastic result for a client. I go to trial if I have to. I fight if I have to. But most of the time, my job is to help people who cannot help themselves."
