Douglas W. Taylor | Appellate & Post-Conviction Relief Attorney in Tucson | Taylor Law Group, PLLC

If you or a loved one has already been convicted of a crime in Arizona, the fight for justice may not be over. At Taylor Law Group, PLLC, we provide experienced representation in appeals and other forms of post-conviction relief. Led by former Pima County judge Douglas W. Taylor, Sr., our firm understands how errors in trials, sentencing, or plea agreements can lead to unjust results. We also understand that you may wish to be off of probation early, or have your conviction set aside or record sealed. We bring the insight of the bench and the courtroom to every case, giving our clients a strong voice in challenging wrongful convictions or unfair sentences.


A criminal conviction can carry devastating consequences — incarceration, heavy fines, loss of employment, loss of civil and gun rights, and the long-term stigma of a criminal record. But even after conviction, there may still be legal remedies. From appeals to post-conviction relief to sentence modifications to set asides and record sealing, we explore every possible avenue to reduce the penalties, overturn a conviction, or restore lost rights. Your case deserves careful review, and our team is committed to uncovering opportunities for relief.

 

Post-conviction work requires a different approach than trial defense. At Taylor Law Group, PLLC, we handle:


Direct Appeals – challenging legal errors that occurred during a criminal trial.


Rule 32/33 Petitions – post-conviction relief proceedings in Arizona courts.


Sentence Modifications – seeking reductions or corrections of unfair sentences.


Motions to Vacate Judgments – addressing newly discovered evidence or constitutional violations.


Restoration of Rights – including civil rights and gun rights after conviction.


Set Asides and Record Sealing - wiping your conviction slate clean. 


We carefully examine trial records, court transcripts, and new evidence to identify errors and build compelling arguments for relief.


Choosing Taylor Law Group means gaining a top-rated legal team that not only understands the law, but also the emotional toll that criminal convictions can inflict. We are here to guide you through the legal process with compassion, clarity, and a steadfast commitment to securing the best possible outcome for your future.
