Still Fighting After a Conviction? You May Have Options.

We help Texans challenge wrongful convictions and unfair sentences through appeals, habeas corpus, and post-conviction relief.

When the trial is over, your case isn’t always finished. There are still legal paths forward - but they are complex, time-sensitive, and require focused experience.

Focused Exclusively on Post-Conviction Relief

Most criminal defense attorneys focus on trials. We focus on what comes after.

Our post-conviction team is dedicated to helping individuals and families pursue relief after a conviction - whether through appeal, habeas corpus, or other post-conviction strategies.

We don’t handle new criminal charges. We step in when the case has already been decided - and the stakes are even higher.

What We Help With

Ways We Help Challenge Convictions

Appeals

Time Matters More Than You Think

Post-conviction options in Texas are often limited by strict deadlines and procedural rules.

Waiting too long - or filing incorrectly - can permanently close the door on relief.

Even if you’re unsure whether you have a case, getting clarity early can make all the difference.

What Happens When You Contact Us

Step 1: Initial Case Review
We gather basic information about the conviction, timeline, and prior legal representation.

Step 2: Identify Possible Legal Paths
We determine whether appeal, habeas corpus, or another option may apply.

Step 3: Clear Next Steps
We explain what is possible, what is not, and what the process would look like moving forward.

Important:
Not every case qualifies for post-conviction relief.
We will be direct and honest about your situation.
