Federal Review of State Judgments
After the state appellate process, you may be able to seek review in the federal courts, by way of habeas corpus petition, if you have exhausted state remedies on federal constitutional issues and you proceed within one year of the final decision, exclusive of tolled time. This is called the statute of limitations, which provides a time frame for the defendant to pursue a federal habeas corpus petition.
With appropriate legal guidance, your case could potentially be taken to the federal courts and effectively reversed even after it had been unsuccessfully litigated in the state appellate system. As an experienced habeas corpus attorney, Mr. Baker has the knowledge of both the state and the federal court systems to pursue your remedies.
