If you or someone you love has been convicted of a crime in Pennsylvania, Lampman Law is here to help and ready to fight for you on appeal and throughout the post-conviction process. Post-conviction relief via direct appeal or collateral attack can result in a case being dismissed, a conviction being vacated, a sentence being vacated or reduced, a new trial being granted, and/or restoration of other important rights.
Once a conviction is entered, time is of the essence to preserve appellate rights and to timely file an appeal. During a free appeal consultation, we seek background information about the potential client and his/her case. We also explain the consequences a conviction may carry beyond the sentencing ranges and maximum penalties. However, our primary goal is identifying filing deadlines and gathering case documents and court transcripts to review to determine what issues should be raised on appeal.
Please call us today at: 570-371-3737 to schedule a free, honest, and no pressure consultation. We offer free consultations in our office, by telephone, or via Zoom and all conversations are 100% confidential. We file and litigate the following appeals in Pennsylvania Courts:
Post-Verdict + Post-Sentence Motions
PA Superior Court Appeals
PA Commonwealth Court Appeals
PA Supreme Court Appeals

Pennsylvania law changes based on decisions made by our Appellate Courts and the United States Supreme Court. Accordingly, it is important for lawyers to be aware of opinions when they are issued and to understand the meaning of the decisions. The lawyers at Lampman Law review the opinions issued by the Superior Court of Pennsylvania, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and the Supreme Court of the United States that impact criminal cases. We also examine opinions of the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania that concern penalties that are collateral to a criminal conviction such as driver’s license suspensions. Here are summaries of some recently issued opinions:
Commonwealth v. Koger
Commonwealth v. Khalid M. Harth
Commonwealth v. Eric Rogers
