Oklahoma Federal and State Appeals and Post-Conviction Attorney

Defending the Accused for 30 Years

If your loved one has been convicted of a crime, the case is not necessarily over. If you believe that an error was made by the judge or the attorney, you may be able to file a successful appeal. An appeal is not a new trial, but a review by an appellate court to determine whether the trial court properly handled your case. At the Robbins Law Office, I provide strategic advocacy and aggressive defense to clients who have suffered the denial of constitutional rights or ineffective assistance of counsel in a criminal trial.

In addition to pursuing appeals for my own clients, I will also handle appeals in referral cases or if you are seeking a new attorney to handle your case. I have extensive experience in both state and federal appeals and will pursue every legal action to assert your rights effectively.

Time is of the essence. You must appeal your case according to a strict timeline after the conviction.

Post Conviction and Habeas Corpus Review

Even after you have exhausted your appeal options, you may still have a review option. If you can show prejudice as a result of particular circumstances, you may wish to pursue post conviction review (in state court) or habeas corpus review (in federal court).

I will examine the record thoroughly when seeking to demonstrate that you were deprived of your rights guaranteed by the constitution and that the deprivation prejudiced the verdict in your case. Post conviction or habeas corpus review may be available if:

• Your case suffered as a result of ineffective assistance of counsel
• You were denied constitutional rights during the trial process

Ineffective Assistance of Counsel (IAC)

Review based on a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel may be successful if the defendant's attorney did something that he or she should not have done or failed to do something that he or she should have done. I will interview the client, talk to the lawyer who tried the case and examine the record to determine whether the review is appropriate.
