About this Gig
A criminal conviction is not always the end of the road. Trial judges admit improper evidence, prosecutors overstep their bounds, and defense attorneys make critical mistakes. Appealing a criminal conviction requires identifying these constitutional and procedural errors to demand a reversal or a new trial.
As a licensed US attorney, I specialize in drafting powerful criminal appellate briefs and Post-Conviction Relief (PCR) petitions.
What I Provide:
- Drafting for Direct Criminal Appeals (e.g., evidentiary errors, improper jury instructions)
- Drafting for PCR and Habeas Corpus (e.g., ineffective assistance of counsel)
- Rigorous constitutional legal research (4th, 5th, 6th Amendment violations)
- Highly persuasive, objective appellate tone
Your freedom and record are at stake. I will meticulously review your trial record and draft a brief designed to expose the trial courts legal failures.
I do not take phone calls. Please message me your sentencing order and transcript length via Fiverr before placing an order.

FAQ
What is the difference between a direct appeal and post-conviction relief?
A direct appeal argues errors made by the judge during trial. Post-conviction relief (like ineffective assistance of counsel) often introduces matters outside the direct trial record.
Do you handle federal and state criminal appeals?
Yes, I can draft briefs for both state appellate courts and the Federal Circuit Courts of Appeal.
Can you read my entire trial transcript?
Transcript review takes significant time. Please message me your transcript page count so I can provide an accurate custom quote.
Is this considered legal representation?
No. This is freelance legal drafting. I am drafting the brief for you to file Pro Se, or for your current attorney to utilize.
How long does an appeal take once filed?
The court's timeline varies wildly, but it often takes 6 to 18 months for an appellate court to render a decision after the brief is filed.
