Why You Need an Appeal and Post-Conviction Attorney
Appeals require precision, strong legal arguments, and detailed review of trial records. Scott Crongeyer leverages years of courtroom and appellate experience to develop persuasive briefs and represent clients in Alabama’s appellate courts. We handle appeals for:
- Felony and Misdemeanor Convictions – Post-conviction relief may be available for both serious and lesser offenses under Alabama law.
- Sentencing Errors – Mistakes in how a sentence was calculated or applied can be grounds for correction or appeal.
- Constitutional Violations – If your rights were violated during investigation, trial, or sentencing, you may be eligible for relief.
- Ineffective Assistance of Trial Counsel – When your attorney failed to provide adequate representation, it can impact the outcome of your case.
- Evidentiary Issues – New evidence or errors related to the handling of evidence may support a post-conviction claim.
Post-Conviction Relief in Alabama
Even after an appeal has been denied, hope is not lost. If new evidence comes to light or your rights were violated during the legal process, you may be eligible for Post-Conviction Relief. As an experienced Post-Conviction Lawyer in Mobile, Scott Crongeyer helps clients challenge convictions through Rule 32 petitions and other legal avenues. Post-conviction proceedings are complex, and deadlines are strict. Working with a knowledgeable Post-Conviction Attorney gives you the best chance to present a compelling case and seek justice. Post-Conviction Relief can be used to:
- Introduce Newly Discovered Evidence – Presenting new facts that were not available during the original trial can support a request for relief.
- Challenge the Effectiveness of Your Trial or Appellate Attorney – Claims of ineffective counsel can be grounds for overturning a conviction or sentence.
- Assert Violations of Constitutional Rights – Any infringement on your rights under the U.S. or Alabama Constitution may justify post-conviction relief.
