The worse possible situation for a family to endure is the wrongful conviction/incarceration of a family member. If you or your loved-one was wrongfully convicted, or had their Constitutional Rights violated at the time of arrest, or when being accessed punishment, you can turn to Attorney Joseph Gagliardi and the legal team at The Gagliardi Law Firm, PLLC.
Our experienced legal team may be able to assist you in mounting an effective argument which could result in the conviction being overturned.
The Right to Appeal
We all have the right to take advantage of the appellate system because the criminal courts don’t always get it right. The Gagliardi Law Firm, PLLC will re-examine your case in search of a way to get the results you’re looking for.
Thousands of good men & women have been exonerated of their convictions, and many more have successfully appealed their convictions for varying desired results. Depending on the details of the case in question, this may be possible for you or your loved-one.
The Faster, The Better
The faster we can get to work on the case, the better. As time passes, evidence is lost, witness die, and memories fade. In other words, if your case is overturned, if you get a new trial, or both, we’ll need to have these resources available.
Circumstances of Successful Appeals
Post-Conviction appeals can be successful when there is a legal problem with the originating arrest, the constitutionality of the sentence, in cases where federal guidelines factor in, and when the conduct of the trial, legal counsel, and/or prosecution of the case can be questioned.
The Arrest: If the defendant’s Constitutional Rights were violated during the arrest, we may be able to have the conviction overturned.
The Sentencing: If the defendant’s sentence is overly harsh, it can be considered unconstitutional. An example of unconstitutional sentencing may be if the defendant was fairly & lawfully convicted, but the defendant’s sentence is more severe than others convicted of the same or similar crimes.
The Conduct of the Trial: If evidence was withheld, or incorrectly introduced, we may have a fight. Also, if the jurors can be proven to have had access to social media during your trial, they may have become compromised. If this can be proven, we may have, again, a chance at a successful appeal. If you didn’t have a chance to tell your side of the story we may have another opportunity to fight the conviction.
