Disclaimer

General information, not legal advice

This website describes appeals and post-conviction law in general terms. It isn't legal advice, and it can't take account of the facts of your case, the court it's in or the rules that apply there. Please don't act, or decide not to act, on anything here without talking to a lawyer.

No attorney-client relationship

Reading this site, calling the office or sending a message does not make Theodora Wakefield your lawyer. That relationship begins only when we have both signed an engagement letter. Until then, no deadline is being watched for you.

Past results

The matters described on this site are samples, written to show the kind of work an appellate practice does. Every appeal turns on its own record and its own court. Past results don't guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any other case.

Confidential information

Please don't send confidential details or documents through the contact form or by email before we have spoken. Until there is an engagement, what you send may not be protected, and it could keep Theodora from representing you or someone else.

Deadlines

Appeal deadlines are short. Nothing on this site tells you how much time you have in your case. If you're thinking about an appeal, speak with a lawyer promptly.
