I generally work with small firms and solo practitioners - however on occasion exceptions are made. You are welcome to contact me to discuss.

Appeals are unique proceedings with complicated rules and procedures that many trial attorney’s find baffling. Instead, most law firms will have their in-house appellate lawyer handle the case when it reaches the appellate stage. However, some firms do not handle appeals in their regular course of business - or do enough of them to justify the expense of keeping a full time Appellate Lawyer on payroll. This is where I come in.

Throughout all 5 Appellate Districts in Illinois, and the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.

When working as a subcontractor for a firm, I generally charge a flat rate. In other capacities, an hourly rate may apply. The number will fluctuate based on the size and scope of the appeal. In either event, any amount agreed upon is generally due upfront before any work is undertaken.

Over 100. Please refer to the “about me” section for more information regarding my track record.

Generally, a notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days of judgment. There are extremely few exceptions to this rule. This doesn’t mean you are out of options, only that you need to talk to a criminal defense attorney to see if any post-conviction relief is available.
