Suppression of Evidence Attorneys
Following a Georgia state conviction, you generally have two options — to request a new trial or file an appeal. Either path presents new challenges and opportunities for relief. The legal issues and skill set required are much different than those usually needed at trial. For that reason, you should consider obtaining a new lawyer or adding a new member to the defense team after you are convicted. In either case, you should choose a lawyer who is experienced in post-conviction relief matters. This new counsel can bring a fresh set of eyes to the case and the ability raise issues that could prove fruitful, including ineffective assistance of legal counsel.
