Columbus Violent Crime Appeals Lawyer
Ohio Attorney Representing Clients in Violent Crime Appeals
Convictions for violent crimes come with extreme consequences. If you have been convicted of a violent crime you did not commit, or if you believe your trial attorney failed to provide an adequate defense, you may be able to file an appeal.
Attorney Eric J. Allen of The Law Office of Eric J. Allen, Ltd., has extensive experience handling appeals in Ohio and federal courts. He understands that each appeal comes with its own unique aspects, and that to properly represent his clients he must pay close attention to detail at all times. If you have been convicted of a violent crime in Ohio and you believe you deserve another chance, contact our Columbus violent crime appeals attorney.
If your first attorney failed you at trial, seek a new lawyer to assist you with your violent crime appeal. Doing so may provide your new lawyer with more arguments to make in front of an appellate judge.
Skilled at Handling Appeals for Any Violent Crime Conviction
We can skillfully prepare an appeal for you if you were convicted of any high-level felony (F1 or F2) offense in Ohio, such as:
- Murder/homicide
- Manslaughter
- Armed robbery
- Arson
- Rape
If we are unable to assist for any reason, we will recommend another lawyer who has the experience and requisite skills to pursue your appeal.
Potential Outcomes in a Violent Crime Appeal
Most often, the best outcome we can hope to achieve in a violent crime appeal case is a new trial. This new trial would then give us a chance to seek a lesser sentence or a not-guilty finding. The benefit of a new trial is that it allows us to proceed in your defense in a trial free from errors.
On rare occasions, an appellate court will dismiss the criminal charges completely. We will thoroughly evaluate your situation to determine if this possibility may be available to you.
