Sentencing, Appeals, Post-Conviction Relief

Attorney Serving Clients Nationwide

After a conviction, you still need the services of an experienced lawyer. Your punishment, or even whether you serve a sentence at all, depends on sentencing, sentencing guidelines, appeals, and post-conviction relief. Having an experienced lawyer can mean the difference between a short or long jail sentence, or, in extreme cases, can mean your life.

Over more than 34 years as a state and federal criminal defense attorney, Bruce Fleisher has compiled a successful record in post-conviction matters. His law offices are in the Miami, Florida area, but his reputation has brought him federal cases nationwide. Contact us to speak with him about any sentencing or appellate issue.

Appeals

If there were any procedural or other problems during a criminal trial, you can file an appeal. It is often wise to hire new attorneys to handle appeals. A new attorney may have more experience in appellate courts, and it is also possible that defense counsel for the first trial was the source of the problem.

Bruce Fleisher knows how to take on very serious cases and turn them into wins. In one case, State vs. Rolando Garcia, he represented a 16-year death row inmate. After five retrials on five different homicide charges, Mr. Fleisher's client is now free.

Federal Sentencing and Post-Conviction Relief

Recently, a landmark ruling declared mandatory federal sentencing guidelines unconstitutional. At the time, federal sentencing guidelines were being used very strictly; now they are more of a "road map" for the Federal Judiciary.

This simple distinction not only makes the sentencing phase of federal trials more flexible, giving defense attorneys more opportunity to influence the judge's decision. It also opens the door to challenge a sentence after it has been handed down.
