Criminal Appeals Attorneys Serving You

Your Rights Do Not End After A Conviction

If you've been convicted of a crime, it's not the end of the road. The Law Office Of James M. Peterson specializes in criminal appeals, providing a second chance for justice. Our team meticulously reviews trial records, identifies errors, and constructs compelling arguments to challenge wrongful convictions. With our deep understanding of appellate law, we strive to overturn unjust verdicts and secure favorable outcomes for our clients. Trust us to be your voice and advocate in the appellate courts.

You need to know your appellate rights. Even after a conviction, plea or probation revocation.

Judges, juries and probation officers make mistakes which may have affected your sentence. New evidence may be found that could have impacted the outcome of your case. Evidence may have been wrongly introduced and should have been suppressed. Or you believe your former counsel was ineffective.

The Law Office Of James M. Peterson will assist you in identifying and rectifying those errors. We do not judge our clients. Rather, we will work diligently to address whether the judicial system denied them justice.

Time is of the essence, however. The appellate courts impose strict time limits on your ability to file for post conviction relief. If you feel you or your loved one can benefit from our expertise, please contact us today.
