Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

My son's criminal case appeal in Florida was denied. I believe we have valid claims for ineffective assistance of counsel on both the appellate level and the trial level. Can they both be pursued simultaneously or is there a particular order they must follow?

You need to talk to an appellate specialist in your area. There are very specific rules when it comes to appeals so I suggest you hire one so that your son's rights aren't waived or lost. You should do so immediately as there are strict time limits when it comes to these matters.
