Secure a Post-Conviction Reversal with Orange County Criminal Appeals Attorneys

In many criminal cases, “conviction” does not mean “conclusion.” Adverse verdicts are often the result of flawed trial-level infrastructure that requires strategic appellate intervention.

Johnson Criminal Law Group provides a sophisticated deconstruction of the trial record to isolate reversible errors and due process violations. Our firm files notices, writs, and opening briefs to compel a judicial override of the lower court’s errors and secure a definitive reversal.

Ms. Johnson-Norris is the absolute definition of an attorney. She not only helped me with my petty theft case, but she also gave me peace of mind during these difficult times. The reason I would recommend Ms. Johnson-Norris is much more than just ‘she gets the job done.’ Rather, she works for you and gets results by taking the burden off you! I want to thank her for her time and encourage anyone who needs help to look to her for answers.

Criminal Appeals FAQs

What constitutes the transition from a trial to a case in Appellate Law?
We examine the record for procedural breakdowns, due process violations, or sentencing errors. Our goal is to identify legally cognizable issues where the trial court’s machinery failed to adhere to established standards, seeking a formal reversal of the outcome.
We evaluate the record of your case to determine which tactical vehicle—an appeal, a Writ, or a post-conviction motion—is the most effective way to challenge a wrongful conviction or an unjust order and reassert your legal standing.
We act as the final oversight, ensuring that every legal vulnerability in the state’s case is exposed and addressed.
This integrated expertise allows us to craft the most persuasive arguments for the District Courts of Appeal, leveraging a deep understanding of how trial-level errors translate into appellate victories.
We recommend an immediate intervention to stabilize your case. By conducting an audit early, we provide the honest, authoritative opinion you need to make an informed decision before the state’s window of review closes.
