Post-Conviction Appeals and Habeas Corpus

Michigan Criminal Appeals Attorneys

Federal Court Appeals ● State Court Appeals

Your case does not necessarily end if you have been convicted of a criminal offense. You may have the option to appeal the decision through the use of habeas corpus or a 6.500 Motion. You may be able to have your sentence reduced or clear your conviction from your permanent record. The lawyers of Gurewitz and Raben will show you your options. We have more than 50 years of combined experience standing up for the rights of people convicted of crimes.

The law firm of Gurewitz and Raben is highly experienced in Michigan and federal criminal appeals and in post-conviction litigation. We can assist in a wide range of matters, including:

Direct criminal appeals to the Michigan Court of Appeals or the Michigan Supreme Court
Direct criminal appeals to the federal Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court of the United States
Michigan 6.500 motions (motions for relief from judgment)
Federal habeas corpus proceedings (§2254 and §2255 petitions)
Petitions to expunge criminal convictions
Motions to reduce jail and prison sentences

Appeals and other post-conviction litigation can be complex. Often, strict time limits exist for these remedies. If you want to appeal a criminal conviction or pursue another post-conviction remedy, we encourage you to pursue it as soon as possible. Whether your appeal is based on a previous attorney who was not effective, meaning your 6th amendment rights were violated, or you feel there were other errors made in your case, we can help.

We can also help with motions seeking to reduce your sentence and with potential expungement of your criminal convictions from your record.
