Protecting Washington Metro Area Clients After Conviction
If you have already been convicted of a crime, it is important to remember that you do have options.
At Hepworth, Pendry and Katkish, we have more than 30 years of litigation experience in the Washington Metro area. We will listen to your concerns and explain the options you have after a conviction. We will zealously protect your rights in an appeal or post-conviction challenge.
Appealing Criminal Convictions
We have protected the rights of our clients in local courts all the way to state and federal appellate courts. As experienced courtroom lawyers, we are able to find errors in the trial record that can result in new trials for our clients.
Just as we do in our trial practice, we thoroughly investigate each client's circumstances. We will comb through the original trial transcripts and search for new evidence that may be beneficial to our clients. Our aim in the appellate process is to identify reversible errors that can be used to overturn convictions or warrant a reduced sentence.
An appeal can give you back your freedom. Let us protect your rights and guide you through the appeals process.
Post-Conviction Litigation
We also have extensive experience with post-conviction litigation such as:
- Challenges to sentences under 28 U.S.C. 2255 and state statutes
- Habeas corpus proceedings
- Motions for new trials
- Other post-conviction proceedings
Whether you are seeking to have the conviction against you overturned or you are working towards a lighter sentence, we will provide the assistance you need.
