New York criminal appellate counsel for direct appeals, CPL 440 motions, and federal habeas corpus. We take the cases other firms turn away.
Reversals in post-conviction work are rare and hard-earned. When an appellate court agrees, its ruling stands as precedent.
People v. Williams. Keith Williams stood convicted in Monroe County of attempted aggravated murder of a police officer, convicted on all four counts. We took the case up on appeal. Five justices of the Appellate Division reviewed the record. Not one dissented. The court reversed the conviction, unanimously, on every count, and ordered a new trial.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case turns on its own facts, the governing law, and the court that hears it. Attorney advertising.
