For
the past 26 years, I have focused my practice exclusively on representing
citizens that have been accused or convicted of crimes at both trial and on
appeal. Over the years, I have represented dozens of criminal defendants at
trial before a jury, often securing favorable outcomes for my clients. In recent years, the bulk of my practice has been devoted to appellate
and post-conviction litigation in both state and federal courts in Missouri and
in a few other states. Appellate and post-conviction practice in criminal cases
has become an increasingly complex and specialized field where it is of the
utmost importance that you hire an experienced lawyer to navigate through the
system. Many observers and commentators have described the post-conviction
process in state and federal court as a procedural minefield that lays traps for
the uninformed or inexperienced prisoner or counsel. If a mistake is made or a
deadline missed early on in the process, this could result in procedural bars in
later post-conviction proceedings.
