Personalized Defense When It Matters Most
Appeals & Writs of Habeas Corpus
Unfortunately, the criminal justice system doesn’t always get it right.
If you’ve been convicted, you have the right to appeal your case and potentially get it overturned.
Not many lawyers handle appeals. They can be complex and involve a lot of research and writing.
I am one of the few who does. I’ll talk you through the appeals process, argue your appeal, and take your case all the way up to the Supreme Court if necessary.
If you never appealed your case, or if you appealed your case and lost, you may still be able to overturn your case through a writ of habeas corpus. I have helped many clients overturn their convictions through writs of habeas corpus.

Expunction and Nondisclosure
An arrest or criminal conviction can negatively impact your life long after the case is over. Fortunately, there are legal actions I can take to remove cases from your criminal record or hide them from employers.
Some cases are eligible for expunction. Expunction removes a criminal case from your record entirely, making it as though it never existed at all. When your case is expunged, you can legally deny ever being arrested or charged for that crime.
Other cases are eligible for nondisclosure, a legal term that means “sealing.” When a case is nondisclosed, it allows certain entities—such as governmental agencies and law enforcement—to see your record but hides it from private citizens and employers. As with an expunged case, once your case is nondisclosed, you can legally deny ever having been arrested or charged with that crime.
Expunction and nondisclosure laws are complex, which is why it’s important to consult with an experienced expunction and nondisclosure attorney like me to find out if your case qualifies.
