Los Angeles Criminal Appeals Lawyer

On the corporate side, Mr. Barhoma has built a reputation for being a strong defense litigator. In 2018, Mr. Barhoma successfully defended against a $2,500,000.00 claim between international companies. Among the claims were Fraud, Breach of Contract, Misrepresentation and Deceit, and more. We have built a strong reputation for being one of Los Angeles’ best corporate and business litigators. Mr. Barhoma successfully defended a cemetery in a jury trial, where our client was being sued for fraud, unjust enrichment, deceit, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and more. Lastly, we are successful in a 2019/2020 matter where our client is being sued for a laundry list of alleged fraud matters. In that case, we have successfully blocked the plaintiff’s path to litigating the matter and have barred any and all claims—a ruling that is strongly in favor of our client. Mr. Barhoma was able to achieve this through strategic approach using the California Rules of Civil Procedure, Res Judicata (Claim preclusion) and principles of Summary Judgment.

Mr. Barhoma currently provides out-house general counsel work for Pharma companies, and major event planning services.

Direct appeals are among the strongest and best legal maneuvers post-conviction. First, Barhoma Law looks to determine whether you filed your Notice of Appeal timely. Failure to timely file a notice of appeal will result in an automatic loss of your appeal. Then, Barhoma Law orders and prepares the record. From there, we extensively go through the record and draft and file your opening brief. The prosecutor will have an opportunity to file their response. Once Barhoma Law receives the prosecutor’s brief, we then extensively review it, draft and file a reply brief. And then we prepare for oral arguments in the court of appeals. This process takes skill and tedious attention to detail. You can seek many great arguments on appeal to overturn your conviction, including the ineffective assistance of counsel, actual innocence, jury tampering issues, prosecutorial misconduct, and many more described in detail here.

A Writ of Habeas Corpus is a Latin term which stands for “production of the body.” We represent defendants in bringing their Writ of Habeas Corpus if they are unjustly or wrongfully detained or incarcerated. This gives you a legal means to challenge the legal basis of your imprisonment, the duration and length of your imprison, or even the manner in which you are imprisoned.

We take full advantage of the fact that on Writ of Habeas Corpus, you are allowed to introduce new and additional evidence, which is among one of the most enticing items about the Writ of Habeas Corpus. With the ability to track down new evidence, new testimony, or even ineffective assistance of counsel argument, you can overturn your conviction using the Writ of Habeas Corpus. Consult with a Barhoma Law lawyer to determine your likelihood of success and whether you are eligible to bring a California or Federal Writ of Habeas Corpus.

Alternatively, at Barhoma Law, we review your record extensively to determine the best likelihood of success to reduce your sentence. We do this in a number of ways:

• SB 1437 – is a new law that passed in California that has changed the previous definition of “Felony Murder”. Previously prosecutors were able to attain multiple homicide convictions on multiple defendants even if they did not kill anyone. Now, under SB 1437, you can get resentenced, and get your murder conviction vacated, if you did not act with reckless indifference to human life and were not a major participant in leading to homicide. We have written a high-quality article about SB 1437 and highlighted our success under the PC 1170.95 here. As California Criminal Appeals lawyers, we are dedicated to maximizing your likelihood of success under any SB 1437 petitions.
• AB 2942 – is an Assembly Bill that was passed in January 2019 where lawyers can re-negotiate your sentence with the prosecutor. At Barhoma Law, we seek to build up your character and creating leverage by putting together a strong character package for your negotiations. To meet the criteria required, courts look for the following factors:
  • The inmate’s disciplinary record
  • The inmate’s record of rehabilitation while incarcerated
  • The passage of new laws that would have resulted in a much shorter sentence
  • Evidence of inmate’s risk for future violence has been reduced; and/or
  • Evidence that circumstances have changed since the inmate was originally sentenced, such that continued incarceration no longer serves the interests of justice.
• Commutation of Sentence – is an application filed with the Governor’s Office where we seek to have your sentence commuted. For success, you generally want to have a positive history as an inmate. Further, the Governor is willing to commute sentences where an applicant displays rehabilitation and an ability to reintegrate into society. At Barhoma Law, we seek to maximize your likelihood of success by putting together a strong character package about you, striking an appeal with the Governor’s Office to enhance your chances of commutation. As a California Criminal Appeals Attorney, we always look to maximize your likelihood of success in pursuing Commutation of Sentence with the governor’s office.
