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.
