Appeals & Post-conviction Relief
Ohio Criminal Appeals Attorney
25 years of legal experience - Former Prosecutor - Former Judge
Convictions are not set in stone. There are situations that can
warrant an appeal, a new trial, and in some cases, a reversal of the
conviction. When it comes to appeals, knowing what to look for in terms
of filing a motion to appeal is half the battle; the other half is
successfully arguing your appeal before a judge.
At Hoague Law Office
of Delaware, Ohio, we provide skilled appellate services to individuals
and families who feel they have been the victim of an unjust
conviction. As a former prosecutor and judge, Mr. Michael C. Hoague, our
Ohio appeals lawyer,
has extensive experience with criminal appeals. As a prosecutor, Mr.
Hoague had a string of seventy-seven consecutive wins in various Ohio
Courts of Appeal. As a judge, he was never overturned on appeal. These
facts speak to attorney Hoague's knowledge and command of the law and
how it is applied.
If you feel you have grounds for an appeal of a criminal conviction, contact Hoague Law Office today to schedule a free initial consultation regarding your case.
Typical grounds for an appeal include:
- legal malpractice - claims that your defense was not properly prepared or was negligent in the presentation of your case
- legal error - mistakes of law and legal procedure
- juror misconduct
- prosecutor misconduct
In addition to appeals, our firm also handles matters of
post-conviction relief. If you have been convicted, we can help you meet
the criteria and deadlines for post-conviction relief, which could
significantly shorten your sentence. Post-conviction relief criteria and
timelines are specific and must be followed to the letter - we can help
make sure all the details are handled properly.
