Post-Conviction DNA Appeal Attorney

My relative has spent the last 23 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Newly uncovered DNA results, together with other flaws in the original investigation, give us a clear path to prove his innocence, but we now need an attorney who truly understands both DNA evidence cases and post-conviction relief strategy.
I have already gathered laboratory reports, prior trial transcripts, police files, and the full appellate record. What I need next is a lawyer who can:
• Review every piece of case material with a fresh eye, paying particular attention to the DNA data and chain-of-custody issues.
• Draft and file the appropriate post-conviction motions and appeals in the correct jurisdiction, citing the latest caselaw on actual innocence and newly-discovered evidence.
• Prepare persuasive supporting documents—affidavits, expert witness statements, and memorandum of law—so the court clearly sees why this DNA evidence should overturn the conviction.
The strongest pillar of our argument is, without question, the DNA evidence that excludes him as the perpetrator. I need someone ready to leverage that science aggressively while also addressing any procedural hurdles that have built up over two decades.
If your practice centers on DNA exonerations and you have a proven track record in post-conviction litigation—particularly in drafting, evidence review, and filing appeals—let’s talk about the next steps to bring him home.
