Trial Unit

The trial and appellate units provide representation to indigent, court-appointed clients facing federal criminal charges. Our attorneys and staff are exceptional in their field and are fully equipped to aggressively prepare and defend each client’s case throughout their federal criminal trial and appellate proceedings. Trial representation begins at arrest or arraignment, and continues through sentencing. Appellate representation surrounds and follows criminal trial proceedings, including pre-trial writs of habeas corpus, direct appeals to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal, and petitions for writ of certiorari and argument in the United States Supreme Court.
