Frequently Asked Questions
I already had an appeal. Is there anything else I can do?
Yes.
Virtually every state provides for a mechanism other than an appeal to challenge constitutional errors made in a case. It is an action generally referred to as a "collateral" action or attack, and is brought by means of a motion, application or petition.
The specifics of how, when and by whom such an action can be brought depend upon each state's individual rules and procedures.
An experienced appellate attorney should first evaluate your case to determine whether you still have time to bring an action and whether you actually have viable claims to bring in such an action.
