At the Law Offices of Thomas A. Martin, our dedication to protecting our clients with diligent and aggressive representation in criminal matters continues long after the trial ends.

Our criminal defense practice is experienced in handling post-conviction matters and serving our clients by protecting their constitutional rights and challenging wrongful convictions. Every client receives the same time, care, and attention from our firm, especially those who seek an appeal of felony convictions and assert their constitutional right to due process. Contact us today for protection all the way to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals and to the United States Supreme Court.

Our criminal practice is experienced in handling appellate matters and believes in assisting the client through the legal process from start to finish. Appeals can be complex and involved, and an experienced lawyer is needed to be sure you have the best chance to succeed.

An appeal is, essentially, a request to a higher state or federal court to review the ruling of a lower court. For defendants who want to overturn a felony conviction, appeals are almost necessary because a trial court is unlikely to overrule its own decision on a case.

Appeals can also be made to challenge a court’s sentencing decisions. Modern federal sentencing guidelines can be unjust, and in some cases we can help individuals with sentence reduction.

Experience in handling appeals is essential to formulating an effective legal strategy to meet your appellate needs, even before the initial trial starts. In any criminal matter, the actions of your attorney matters. If they fail to raise an objection or appeal at the right time, as a defendant, it can ruin your chances for appellate review and cause you unnecessary expenses. It’s best to have a knowledgeable appeals lawyer up front, but we handle all appellate matters—from writs to appeals.
