Get trusted legal support from attorneys who focus only on appeals and post-conviction work.
Post-conviction relief in Florida is highly technical. Unlike trial work, there is no discovery, and courts rely completely on the existing record. Because appeals are reviewed by a multi-judge appellate panel, you need a lawyer who understands how to present written briefs, challenge errors, and build a strong strategy.
Brownstone Law is known for its exclusive focus on appellate and post-conviction litigation, including criminal appeals, habeas corpus petitions, and motions under Rule 3.850 and 3.800. Our Tallahassee post-conviction lawyers bring experience, accuracy, and a deep understanding of Florida criminal law.
Our team handles a wide range of post-conviction matters, including:
Brownstone Law has successfully handled these motions for clients across Florida.
You may qualify for post-conviction relief if:
Since Florida courts are often reluctant to overturn judgments, your case must be presented with clear evidence, strong arguments, and precise legal reasoning—something our appellate-focused attorneys excel at.
Appeals and post-conviction motions are not the same:
Appeals focus on legal mistakes such as abuse of discretion or clear error. Post-conviction motions focus on issues like ineffective counsel, unlawful sentencing, newly discovered evidence, or constitutional violations.
Brownstone attorneys also handle habeas corpus petitions, writs of certiorari, writs of prohibition, and other discretionary relief, giving clients a full range of options.
Brownstone Law takes a strategic, detail-driven approach. Our team:
Our lawyers are known for precision, experience, and a record of handling complex appellate cases across multiple states.

If you believe your case was mishandled, you still have legal options. Our Tallahassee team handles criminal appeals, federal sentencing appeals, habeas corpus petitions, and motions for post-conviction relief.
A Rule 3.850 motion is the most common, used to challenge ineffective counsel or constitutional violations.
It is a legal request made after conviction asking the court to correct or overturn the result due to errors, new evidence, or violations.
A motion that asks the court to vacate or correct a conviction or sentence. It must meet specific requirements and deadlines.
A motion filed after sentencing to challenge errors not raised on appeal, such as counsel issues or newly discovered evidence.
Timelines vary by case, but many motions take several months. Complex issues may take longer.
Success depends on strong legal arguments and supporting evidence. Motions backed by detailed records and clear errors have a higher chance.
