Smart, Strategic Appellate Lawyers
Every appeal requires a close analysis of every piece of evidence and every fact introduced at trial. When the case involves rape or other sex crimes, we understand that there is some limited physical evidence to examine. Often, however, there will be a rape kit, which we will analyze. In addition to any physical evidence, we also review:
- Forensic interviews: in many sexual assault cases, a social worker will conduct a forensic interview of the victim or witness. These interviews are sometimes suggestive and unfair to the accused.
- Questioning/interrogation: Questioning by police can only take place after certain procedures are followed. Many of these procedures are protected by the U.S. Constitution. We will examine the circumstances under which you were questioned to see if, for example, the police got you to confess by using improper techniques.
When you choose us to handle your appeal, we will look into all the possible options for post-conviction relief. Depending on your case, that may mean reducing or eliminating prison time, expunging the conviction or minimizing other consequences of the criminal penalty.
