Anaheim Criminal Appeals Lawyers

Appeals lawyers in Anaheim, Garden Grove, Fullerton and surrounding areas will quickly tell you not to count on having your conviction overturned through the appeals process. There must first be grounds for an appeal of a criminal conviction. Even if your lawyers do discover error that warrants an appeal, withheld evidence or new evidence, there is no assurance that your appeal will be granted. Still, there can be significant post-criminal conviction relief if you have lawyers willing to spend the time to produce results.

Filing a Writ of Habeas Corpus can be useful in winning your release from prison. Habeas Corpus is not an appeal of your conviction--it is a challenge to its legality. You are asking the court to recognize the unconstitutionality of your imprisonment. Writs of Habeas Corpus may be filed before a conviction, as well as after. Most Anaheim criminal appeals attorneys will caution that this course is even riskier than seeking a new trial through the appeals process. You may also seek sentencing relief, even though your conviction has not been overturned. Having your sentence reduced is one of the most successful ways to lessen the consequences of your conviction.
