Appeals & Post-Conviction Relief

This Is Not the End

The system is not without its flaws. Mistakes can be made. That is why the ability to appeal is so important in the pursuit of justice. Even if you are at the very beginning of your case, you want to make certain that your lawyer knows how to handle appeals, because they can be critical if the opposing lawyer, the judge or the jury makes an error.

At the Joseph A. Fortunato Law Offices, our lawyers provide true start-to-finish criminal defense representation. If we guide your case through the process, only to have it derailed by someone else's error or misreading of the law, we know how to pursue a New Jersey criminal appeal to get it back on track.

Post-Conviction Relief

In addition to appeals, there are other forms of relief that may be available to people convicted of crimes. Having been dedicated to the pursuit of justice and excellence for more than 30 years, we know all available options. We will review your case to determine what can be done and then guide you through the process.

Diligence

Appeals and other forms of post-conviction relief require a very diligent attorney. Success in these matters often means sifting through the details of a past case and presenting an argument, in writing, as to why something was mishandled and how it should be set right. This requires in-depth knowledge of the law, which you will find at our law firm.
