While every criminal case is of great importance, each individual case presents unique circumstances. If you have been accused of felony or misdemeanor crimes, you should contact my office as soon as possible—especially before speaking with law enforcement—so we can begin building the right defense strategy for you to achieve the best possible outcome in your particular case.

Every person who has been convicted of a crime can pursue a direct appeal of that conviction or its unfavorable consequences. If you were recently convicted of a felony, you can retain the Law Office of Jake Stebner to skillfully challenge that conviction or its unfavorable consequences on direct appeal.

PLEASE NOTE: To preserve your right to appeal your felony conviction you must file a notice of appeal in the trial court within 60 days of judgment and sentencing or you will almost certainly forever lose your ability to pursue a direct appeal of that conviction. (Notice of appealing a misdemeanor conviction must be filed in the trial court within only 30 days of judgment and sentencing.)

Criminal convictions can have devastating and lifelong consequences. Have you suffered a conviction and want to challenge that conviction by petitioning for a writ of habeas corpus to reverse the judgment against you? Do you want to try to withdraw your guilty plea or no-contest plea? Do you want to try to get your period of probation terminated early? Do you want to try to get your felony “wobbler” conviction reduced to a misdemeanor? Do you want to try to clean up your criminal record so you can lawfully deny its existence to most prospective employers? The Law Office of Jake Stebner can help you with all of this.
