It is not unusual for criminal defendants who have been convicted of a crime in one State to retain an appellate attorney from another State to represent them on the appeal of their criminal conviction
Attorney James S. Friedman has significant experience handling out-of-state appeals for clients throughout the United States. Mr. Friedman has been provisionally admitted to practice in other states on a case-by-case basis to represent clients on appeal.
Working with local counsel throughout the United States
Local counsel is an attorney licensed in the state of the appeal who handles the administrative aspects of the appeal, such as making sure all filing deadlines are complied with, making sure all fees are paid and obtaining trial transcripts and other records relating to the matter. Working with assistance from local counsel, Attorney James S. Friedman researches the arguments to be raised in support of the appeal, prepares the briefs and, if needed, argues the appeal before a panel of appellate judges.
