Ohio Post-Conviction Attorneys

Post-Conviction Claims In Ohio

There are several reasons to seek post-conviction relief. Overturning a wrongful conviction could be based on the development of new evidence, ineffective counsel, improper conduct by the judge, prosecution, or jury, or changes in the law that would result in a reduced sentence.

Post-conviction relief cases often start by reading and investigating transcripts and other written materials from the court proceedings. Our Ohio post-conviction lawyers will thoroughly review your case to determine if you have grounds for post-conviction relief and then seek to vacate or modify your conviction. Not only do we want to obtain the freedom and justice you deserve, but we also want to make sure that this doesn’t happen to another innocent person ever again.

If you have discovered new favorable evidence that was not available at the time of your trial, you can file a Motion for New Trial. To prevail on a new trial motion, we must show that the outcome of your case would have probably been different if the judge or jury would have known about the new evidence.

Truthfully, all types of post-conviction relief are very difficult to obtain. If you want a new trial, or if you are interested in another type of post-conviction relief, you need an attorney who understands the law and complex procedures that govern these claims.

Personalized Post-Conviction Relief Representation

We believe that meaningful client relationships are an essential element of success in post-conviction work. A case file and trial record can only tell the story of what has happened in a case. However, a post-conviction claim is an opportunity to address what did NOT happen. The transcript may tell you what did happen but it cannot inform an attorney as to what did not occur on the record. Accordingly, client relationships are essential to fully develop post-conviction claims.

If you or an incarcerated loved-one believe that evidence in your case was withheld or new evidence has been discovered, you may be able to have your conviction overturned. Please contact Patituce & Associates, LLC if you would like to have your case considered for post-conviction or new trial representation.
