Post Conviction
Michigan Criminal Defense Lawyers
In many cases, the outcome of a trial or a sentencing hearing is unsatisfactory. When this occurs, there is an opportunity for relief through an appeal, but effective assertion of legal claims on appeal is a matter that requires punctuality and experience.
If you are unhappy about your conviction or your sentence, you should discuss your case with an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately. At Willey & Chamberlain, we have handled numerous appeals in the Michigan and federal appellate court systems, and we can advise you of the value of seeking relief on appeal. Although not all cases can be won on appeal, many cases involve issues that may lead to a better outcome if an appeal is filed.
In cases where time has passed since an unsatisfactory trial, plea, or sentencing hearing, there may still be an opportunity to raise legal issues even if an appeal can no longer be pursued. Such challenges take various forms and are often described as collateral review or post-conviction relief.
If you are dissatisfied with your conviction or your sentence, no matter how much time has passed since your case ended, you should discuss your concerns with an experienced criminal defense lawyer at Willey & Chamberlain to determine whether there is any legal basis for a challenge.
At Willey & Chamberlain, we are efficient and cost-conscious, while never sacrificing the quality of our defense services. We truly care about your future. Contact us today to discuss what we can do for you to address an unsatisfactory result in your case, no matter how old your conviction may be.
