Attorney Michael Mee Prevails on Habeas Petition: Client Wins Right to New Appeal
Attorney Michael Mee of Liberators Criminal Defense successfully argued a post-conviction Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus on behalf of a client who had been denied effective legal representation on appeal. The court agreed that the client's prior appellate counsel failed to raise critical issues and did not adequately communicate with the client about their rights or case status.
As a result, the court granted the petition and restored the client's right to pursue a direct appeal—despite the original deadline having long passed. This rare and significant outcome offers the client a second chance to challenge the conviction and seek justice through a full review by the appellate court.
Attorney Mee continues to fight for individuals whose rights were compromised by ineffective assistance of counsel at all stages of the criminal process.
