Being charged with a criminal offense does not mean your case is over. You are still innocent until proven guilty, and no matter how bad the situation may seem at the time of your arrest, the circumstances are almost never as damning as you may be led to believe. The law has many protections for people charged with a crime, including the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney.
Appeals focus on trial court errors, rather than introducing new evidence. If a judge's ruling is contrary to federal or state law, there may be grounds for appealing that court's decision.

...called once was told I would receive a call back that day to no avail...(even after diamond himself told me 2 call back...)....so I waited til 4pm next day (fri)....and called back was told the only thing she could do was take another message (very short in her temperament as well)....so here it is over a week later to no avail....so my advice to you a potential client looking for an attorney..keep looking and don't get this unprofessional lawfirm....the public defender's (pretenders) office is even a better choice.....look at my very high rating with Google over 750,000 views of my HONEST REVIEWs

I don't even know where to start. These gentleman saved my life. I was facing serious charges, and did not know where to turn. I consulted with several attorneys but, after meeting this team, knew exactly who I wanted fighting for me. This team of brilliant and talented attorneys fought for me tooth and nail, eventually having all charges dismissed. Every step of the way, they were there encouraging me and giving me hope. Every email and phone call was promptly returned, ensuring I was kept informed. The criminal justice system is daunting and frustrating to say the least, but these gentleman made
