A denied motion to suppress evidence, a motion to dismiss or any other motion may not go in your favor. As a former assistant public defender for Prince George’s County, Maryland, our firm’s founding attorney knows the risks associated with a criminal trial. He has seen firsthand the issues that must be appealed to a higher court.

Maybe an issue arose during trial that affected the ultimate outcome of your case. Maybe new evidence was discovered that could affect your conviction. An appeal is your opportunity to raise new questions before a higher court.

There are times when you may believe your attorney did not do what he or she ought to have done during your criminal trial. Ineffective assistance of counsel can be a viable argument on appeal. If you believe that your verdict would have been different with another attorney, you should consider appealing your case.

A criminal conviction may have an adverse effect on your ability to obtain employment. Most employers now routinely conduct criminal background checks on employees. Our firm will examine your record to determine whether an expungement or other method is available to seal a criminal record.

If you have been convicted or have postconviction issues that need to be raised, contact a lawyer at the Law Office of Kevin Mosley for a free initial consultation.
