Experienced Appellate Attorneys
Our appeals attorneys, William P. Sargeant and Leslie Rakestraw have handled numerous civil and criminal appellate matters. They have drafted appellate briefs and argued appeals before the Superior Court sitting in its appellate capacity, the Arizona Court of Appeals and the Arizona Supreme Court. Our attorneys understand the many elements that are necessary for a successful post-conviction relief petition, the complex rules that govern such appeals and how to argue persuasively to achieve the client's goal.
You Have One Opportunity
Because only one petition for post-conviction relief is allowed for those convicted after September 29, 1992, it is very important that it be drafted and argued correctly. Whether it involves a new trial motion, an attempt to reduce a sentence or other criminal appeals matter, you can depend on our firm to argue your case with skill, insight and professionalism.
