Ohio Post-Conviction Attorney
Helping Clients with Post-Conviction Relief Across Ohio
After your conviction, you may have some procedural opportunities to raise new evidence that was not produced during your trial and was not considered by a jury.
Every day the government secures convictions based on unconstitutional practices. Worse, clients are convicted because their own attorney didn’t bother to fully investigate their case. Post-conviction remedies offer clients an avenue to raise claims based on evidence that was not put on the record at trial or provided to your lawyer before trial. You may have a meritorious statutory post-conviction claim if favorable evidence known at the time of your trial was not presented because the state wrongfully hid it or your trial lawyer failed to investigate or present it.
Being wrongfully convicted and falsely incarcerated for a crime that you or a loved one did not commit is one of the greatest injustices in life. Not only are you unable to take back the time spent in prison, but also the real perpetrator of the crime is free to harm more people. Fortunately, our Ohio post-conviction lawyers understand how the failures in our criminal justice system have led to countless innocent people being falsely convicted.

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 Cleveland criminal defense 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 Ohio criminal defense 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 believes that evidence in your case was withheld or new evidence has been discovered, you may be able to have your conviction overturned. Please Patituce & Associates, LLC if you would like to have your case considered for post-conviction or new trial representation.
