Criminal Appeals

Covington, Kentucky, Criminal Appeals Attorney

If you were convicted because your criminal trial was not properly handled, you are entitled to an appeal and post-conviction relief. Attorney Paul J. Dickman, a skilled criminal defense lawyer, is committed to justice for the wrongfully convicted. If you, or someone you know, was the victim of a miscarriage of justice in the courts of Kentucky, Mr. Dickman, will examine the record to determine whether you are entitled to relief.

If you feel you may be entitled to a criminal appeal contact a lawyer at our Covington firm for a free consultation.

The charges, police procedure, quality of evidence, and trial procedures leading to a conviction for a class A or B felony such as homicide, armed robbery, or trafficking narcotics should be carefully examined for errors. Grounds for an appeal may be based on an error or omission on the part of the police, the prosecutor, the criminal defense lawyer, or the judge.

You may be freed from jail during your criminal appeal

In some circumstances, a person convicted of a crime will be released from custody pending a decision by a Kentucky appellate court. Since there are time constraints, it is important to begin an appeal or motion for post-conviction relief as soon as possible following conviction.

At Dickman Law, our attorney will consider appeals in Kentucky courts, serving clients from Covington, Newport, Fort Thomas, and other Northern Kentucky communities. We are committed to protecting the rights of those convicted under the criminal justice system.
