Successfully handling a Texas criminal appeals case involves a number of factors. The most important are often experience and credibility.
Through experience a lawyer can evaluate a case, and determine the possible outcomes.
Credibility plays an important role in the lawyer’s dealings with investigators, prosecuting attorneys and the courts. Prosecutors and investigators know who the good lawyers are, and that knowledge very often effects how they will handle the case.
Other lawyers also know who the good lawyers are, and those are the attorneys they refer cases to when they need help with a Texas criminal appeal.
Successfully handling an appeal case also requires knowledge of the law. Not only is that necessary to evaluate a case, it is also critical in ensuring each client’s rights are fully protected throughout the proceedings.
I have that knowledge, which has been obtained through more than two decades of experience in successfully handling appeals.
Additionally, I stay current on legal developments, and help other lawyers do so through my contributions to legal updates published by both the State Bar of Texas and the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyer’s Association.
A goal of this website is to provide information on appeals and habeas corpus to both individuals and other attorneys. I have included information on the appeal process as well as habeas corpus. I have also included some of the newsletters and free resources I publish.
Come back often to see what’s new, and add your name to our mailing list to receive our newsletter. If you have any suggestions for issues or topics you would like to see addressed, please contact me.
