Experienced Post-Conviction and Appellate Representation
The post-conviction and appellate processes are unique and require a specific skill set.

The appeal is a critical right that cannot be squandered. When your freedom is on the line, attorney C. Justin Brown will zealously pursue your post-conviction or appellate defense, whether the case was brought in Baltimore City, another county of Maryland, or in Federal Court.

Pursuing Your Post-Conviction Goals
Post-conviction work requires experience, patience, and creativity. Oftentimes, those seeking post-conviction relief rush to file their petitions, only to lose in court and come to the realization that they have wasted their last opportunity. For that reason, it is absolutely critical to hire an attorney who is experienced in this area of law and who has the commitment to dig deep into a case.
Mr. Brown's philosophy is to not bring a post-conviction claim to court until it has a legitimate chance to succeed. For that reason, he uses investigators, experts, and extensive legal research to develop claims. He focuses on Brady claims, new evidence, and ineffective assistance of counsel. His goal is to leave no stone unturned.

Mr. Brown also maintains an appellate practice. Appellate work requires excellent research and writing skills, and Mr. Brown has honed these skills through years of experience. In addition to having served as a federal clerk, Mr. Brown is a former editor of the Maryland Law Review and a former award-winning print journalist. He will put this background to work for your appeal.
Mr. Brown handles all types of appeals and applications for leave to appeal, whether in the state or federal system.
