State Criminal Appeals
Maryland Criminal Appeals LawyersIf you are convicted of a state criminal offense, you may have been convicted in error. Your sentence may be based on an incorrect use of evidence. Individuals who believe they have been wrongful convicted or sentenced in state court have the right to appeal that conviction, requesting that an appeals court review the way in which your case was conducted. At Brennan Sullivan & McKenna LLP, we provide our clients with an effective and vigorous appeal of a conviction in state court. We also offer the same service to clients of other attorneys who do not practice at the appellate level. If you, a family member, or a client has been convicted of a state crime, contact our Maryland attorneys to schedule a confidential consultation to learn how we can help with your appeal. There are several reasons for an appeal. The judge could have made a procedural error. The prosecutor could have violated Maryland criminal procedure. The original defense lawyer may have performed his or duties inadequately. We thoroughly examine these elements of the original trial to determine the proper basis for an appeal. In addition to our more than 60 years of experience defending clients accused of state criminal charges, our lawyers have handled many hundreds of state appeals. Each year we appeal the convictions of a dozen or more clients who want us to continue to fight for them. We represent individuals in the Maryland Court of Appeals and the Maryland Court of Special Appeals. Contact UsIf you believe you have been convicted or sentenced because of errors on the part of the judge, the prosecutor, or the defense lawyer, you have a right to an appeal. Contact our Greenbelt and Upper Marlboro law firm to learn about your post-conviction options during a confidential consultation.
