If we just recieved news that my husband’s appeal was denied, are there any steps we can take after this decision?
We put our trust in 2 lawyers that just seem to do nothing but consently mess us over and take our money. We didn’t hear of the denial from our lawyer himself we heard from in insider. We haven’t heard from the lawyer in over a year. If so, the denial is in fact true, I just want to know what steps can be taken to get my husband the time back he originally did a plead for? Please understand we are not giving up hope and only want soemone who can really help us bring him home and really seek justice.

If the appeal of the conviction as to the conviction of your husband that he filed was denied by the appellate court, I suggest that he and his attorneys consult with the attorneys that handled the appeal to see what the legal options are at this point in time. Options are perhaps a motion for reconsideration with the appellate court and/or a petition for review to the supreme court of your husband's matter.
