Libre Litigation specializes exclusively in appellate and post-conviction law. When trial-level options are exhausted, we find the path forward.
You Can't Fight What You Can't See — We Find Everything.
Most wrongful convictions and unjust sentences survive not because the system worked correctly, but because critical errors were never identified. A Full Case Evidence Review is the foundation of every successful appeal. Our team performs a deep, methodical examination of your entire case record — every document, every transcript, every piece of evidence — using both experienced legal analysis and AI-powered research tools to uncover what trial counsel missed, what prosecutors concealed, and what courts failed to address.
Prosecutors are legally required to disclose favorable evidence. Violations happen often and go undetected. We look for every Brady/Giglio issue.
Lab errors, contamination, discredited techniques, and broken chains of custody are more common than courts admit. We find them.
Every appeal is only as strong as its factual record. A full evidence review ensures no viable claim is overlooked before any strategy is locked in.
Filing the wrong motion at the wrong time can waive rights and close doors permanently. A review tells you exactly what you have — and what to do with it.
Anyone who believes their trial was unfair, that evidence was mishandled or hidden, or that their attorney failed them. This review is the essential first step — before any motion is filed or court is approached.
A thorough evidence review often reveals claims that change everything. Without it, you may be fighting blind.
Challenge the Verdict. Demand Justice.
A direct appeal is your first — and often most critical — opportunity to challenge a wrongful conviction or unjust sentence. At Libre Litigation, we conduct an exhaustive review of trial records, transcripts, jury instructions, and rulings to identify every reversible error.
Anyone convicted at trial who believes errors occurred — whether evidentiary rulings, improper jury instructions, prosecutorial misconduct, or ineffective assistance of counsel.
Most direct appeal deadlines are strict and cannot be extended. Act immediately.
When the Direct Appeal Ends, the Fight Doesn't.
A failed direct appeal is not the final word. Post-conviction proceedings allow us to raise new evidence, newly discovered facts, and constitutional claims that weren't — or couldn't be — raised on direct appeal.
Defendants whose direct appeals have been exhausted or denied, and those with new evidence, witness recantations, or claims of constitutional violations that emerged after trial.
Post-conviction deadlines vary by state and issue. Contact us to evaluate your window.
The Federal Constitution Protects You — We Enforce It.
Federal habeas corpus petitions under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (state prisoners) and § 2255 (federal prisoners) are powerful tools to challenge unconstitutional detentions in federal court. We navigate this complex terrain with precision.
State and federal prisoners whose constitutional rights were violated and who have exhausted available state remedies. The one-year AEDPA statute of limitations makes timing critical.
Federal habeas has strict one-year deadlines. Don't wait — your window may be closing.
A Sentence Is Not Always the Last Word.
Sentences that were legal at the time of conviction may now be challengeable due to changes in law, retroactive guidelines, or compassionate grounds. We identify and pursue every available avenue for sentence reduction.
Individuals serving sentences that may now be disproportionate, unconstitutional, or reducible under new law — including elderly inmates, those with serious medical conditions, and juvenile lifers.
Many sentence modification opportunities have deadlines or require swift action after a legal change.
Hold Government Accountable.
When government officials violate your constitutional rights — through excessive force, unlawful arrest, malicious prosecution, or denial of due process — 42 U.S.C. § 1983 provides a path to justice. We fight these cases aggressively in federal court.
Individuals whose constitutional rights were violated by law enforcement, corrections officers, prosecutors, judges acting outside their authority, or other government actors.
Civil rights claims carry statutes of limitations. The sooner you act, the stronger your case.
Know Where You Stand. Know What's Possible.
Before charting a legal strategy, you need a clear picture of where you are and what avenues remain open. Our case consultations deliver an honest, thorough evaluation — no sugarcoating, no false hope, just sound legal analysis.
Anyone who wants a second opinion on their case, is unsure whether valid claims remain, or needs help understanding the legal landscape before committing to a course of action.
A consultation is the foundation of every successful post-conviction strategy.
A Past Mistake Shouldn't Define Your Future.
A criminal record can follow you for life — affecting employment, housing, professional licenses, and opportunities. Expungement and record sealing can legally erase or restrict access to past convictions and arrests, giving you a genuine fresh start.
Individuals who have completed their sentence, satisfied all conditions of probation or parole, and are seeking to move forward without the burden of a public criminal record.
Eligibility windows and waiting periods differ by state. A consultation will determine whether you qualify now — or when you will.
When Time Is the Enemy, We Move Fast.
Some legal emergencies cannot wait. Pending executions, imminent deportations, unlawful incarceration, and irreparable constitutional violations demand immediate court intervention. Libre Litigation is equipped to move with urgency — filing emergency motions for stays of execution, injunctive relief, and emergency habeas petitions on an expedited basis.
Clients or families facing imminent irreparable harm — including execution dates, unlawful transfers, or constitutional violations requiring immediate court relief.
Do not wait. Emergency relief requires immediate action. Every hour matters.
Freedom Is Worth Fighting For — Twice.
Being accused of violating parole or probation can send you back to prison — sometimes for longer than your original sentence. These proceedings move fast and offer fewer procedural protections than a criminal trial, but you still have rights.
Individuals on parole or probation who have been accused of a violation — whether a new criminal charge, a technical violation, or a missed appointment.
Revocation hearings are scheduled quickly. Contact us immediately upon receiving notice of a violation.
Expert Support Behind the Scenes.
Not every attorney specializes in appellate work — and appellate courts are an entirely different arena from trial. Libre Litigation provides behind-the-scenes consulting and co-counsel support to trial attorneys and law firms who need appellate expertise.
Trial attorneys, solo practitioners, and small law firms who need specialized appellate support without referring out the entire case. All work can be provided confidentially.
Appellate work is a specialty. Partnering with an expert can make the difference between a winning brief and a lost appeal.
Every case follows a rigorous, disciplined process designed to leave nothing on the table.
We review your case materials, listen to your story, and give you an honest assessment of where you stand and what options remain.
Our team conducts exhaustive record review — trial transcripts, evidence, prior filings — using AI-assisted legal research to uncover every arguable issue.
We craft persuasive, court-ready briefs that clearly articulate your constitutional and legal claims with precision and authority.
We file in the appropriate court, manage all deadlines, argue your case zealously, and pursue every avenue until relief is obtained.
Appellate and post-conviction law is complex and fact-specific. If you don't see your exact situation above, don't assume there's nothing that can be done. Contact us — we'll give you an honest answer.
