Appeals and Pardons

Southern Maryland Criminal Conviction Appeals Lawyer

Judge's decisions in state criminal justice cases are subject to appeal, all the way to the Maryland Court of Appeals and ultimately to the U.S. Supreme Court. The appellate court process is different than a trial. Post-conviction appeals are subject to their own timetables and require a thorough examination of the trial record and ability to research and articulate legal principles in order to have any hope of overturning a verdict or challenging a sentence.

Fighting to have your case reconsidered is an important decision. A successful appeal, like a pardon or an expungement, can lead to clearing up your criminal record. Attorney Brian Ramsay, of Ramsay Law Office, LLC, in Waldorf, Maryland, has legal skills and knowledge of the state and federal appeals process that you can rely on.

Affordable, effective criminal law services

Free consultation about your postconviction appeal or pardon

In every case, errors can occur. Not every mistake by your judge or misinterpretation of the law will result in overturning your conviction. However, even small details that had the effect of denying you your constitutional rights can serve as the basis of a successful appeal. Your attorney must fully understand the law, trial procedures, and constitutional law as applied to criminal justice in order to make the most of this opportunity. Brian Ramsay has that knowledge, skill, and energy. We know that sometimes a successful appeal requires the court to take a new look at the law from a fresh angle. Our strength is our energy and willingness to devise strategies and approaches that will make a difference this time around.
