After a criminal conviction, sometimes the only route to a better outcome is exploring the possibility of habeas corpus. Habeas corpus is a civil court procedure by which a defense attorney argues that counsel in a previous trial was ineffective or that something happened during the criminal defense process that was not constitutional.
Preparing for habeas corpus proceedings or appeals is a long and challenging process. A new lawyer has to take a case that has already been concluded, investigate, and litigate it from scratch. Obtaining the necessary original documents, pleadings, or transcripts is often tricky. Many criminal defense lawyers leave habeas corpus to others because of the challenges.
