Our office represents clients directly and also provides support to attorneys who need assistance with appellate work, State Post-Conviction Cases, or other research and writing projects or who wish to contract appellate work to an outside attorney. We also work with attorneys who wish to simply turn an appeal over to a highly qualified and competent outside counsel.
