Shafted how?
Many attorneys practice in more than one area of law... and others focus on one.
If his conduct was far below that of a competent attorney, an appeal of a conviction may have merit. It really depends on what the case was about, how it resolved and what the issues are/were.
Talk to either an appellate attorney if this was a trial or another (exclusively) criminal defense attorney to discuss.
