Dallas State Appeals Attorneys
Dallas-Fort Worth Conviction Defense Lawyers
For more than 20 years, Patrick J. McLain, Attorney at Law, has provided aggressive appeals representation to clients facing serious state crime convictions. If you or a loved one has been convicted of a crime in a Texas criminal court and you are considering appealing that decision, turn to a law firm that is tough, ethical and experienced.
A fresh look at your case by a respected criminal defense lawyer can make all the difference. We are Dallas state appeals lawyers and former prosecutors who understand criminal cases inside and out. We have handled appeals before courts throughout the state — including the Texas Court of Appeals and Texas Supreme Court — and involving a wide range of state felony crime convictions, such as:
A conviction does not have to be the end of your fight. Depending on what happened at your trial, you may be able to appeal the verdict. Do you have new evidence that proves your innocence? Did the judge do something wrong? Did your attorney fail to zealously represent you?
Challenging Your Trial Attorney's Competence
Oftentimes, the best appeal is an appeal that challenges the actions or inactions of your trial lawyer. If your lawyer made a false step during your trial, we may be able to argue that you did not have effective assistance of counsel and are entitled to a new trial.
Appeal Deadlines
There are very strict time limits for appeals in Texas. If you are considering appealing, contact an attorney immediately. If it is too late, we may be able to file for a writ of habeas corpus.
