I am often hired by families of people convicted of various state and federal Crimes to handle their appeals. Appeals involve reading the transcript of the trial or hearing, preparing a brief citing the errors committed in the trial by prosecutor, judge, or defense attorney, and arguing the case on appeal before an appellate court. I have argued such cases before state and federal courts of appeal, and before the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.

Careful research, writing, and preparation are important in these cases. Many lawyers do not handle Appeals because they are so demanding and difficult. I have always been proud of my efforts in this Area. If you hire an attorney on appeal, ask for a copy of a sample of his work. I have always been happy to furnish a potential client with such a sample.
