Skilled Legal Advocacy for Michigan Appeals

At Skinner Law Office, we offer expert legal representation for clients throughout Michigan. We specialize in criminal defense appeals, habeas corpus petitions, and federal appellate matters, delivering meticulous legal research and persuasive advocacy at every stage.

Strategic Approach for Every Stage

Criminal Appeals

Navigating the complexities of Michigan criminal appeals requires experience and precision. We meticulously analyze trial records to identify errors and craft persuasive arguments to challenge wrongful convictions and sentencing issues. Our sole focus on appellate litigation means your case benefits from expert knowledge and strategic advocacy.

Civil Appeals

Civil appeals demand a thorough understanding of both procedural nuances and substantive law. We represent clients across Michigan in diverse civil matters, ensuring their cases are argued effectively to safeguard their rights and interests on appeal.

Habeas Corpus Petitions

For clients facing continued detention despite exhausted state remedies, habeas corpus petitions provide a critical path to relief. Skinner Law Office offers expert guidance and representation in these complex federal proceedings, aiming to protect constitutional rights and secure justice.

Federal Appeals

Our experience extends to federal courts, having litigated successful appellate relief for our federal clients. We can handle appeals to the Sixth Circuit Court and other federal circuit courts, as well as the U.S. Supreme Court.

Expungements, Pardons, and Commutations

Additionally, for clients who have exhausted other legal avenues, we offer strategic advice and assistance with expungement, pardon, and commutation applications to provide renewed hope and final resolution.
