All too often judges will ignore the Constitution, and take away your rights, just because they think someone is guilty. The law is clear that we cannot be convicted on the basis of an illegal confession, an illegal search, or an unconstitutional law. But, sadly, this happens all too often, in State and Federal court. An experienced criminal appeals lawyer, like Attorney Marcus Barnett and The Barnett Law Firm, can help you protect your rights, and fight these injustices. 

Florida and Federal law have specific procedures and requirements for challenging a wrongful conviction. There are often tight deadlines, and other requirements that have to be met. You need an attorney who understands these thoroughly and has experience in making sure that your appeal gets heard. Frequently, people with legitimate and real claims lose their chance to have them addressed, because a lawyer did not understand the law, or missed a deadline.
