Obviously no attorney in America would file a civilk lawsuit on behalf of a convicted felon absent a prior reversal of the conviction. I am sure attorneys have told you that previously.

If you feel you were wrongfully convicted, you will need to employ and pay a criminal attorney. I'm not one, but you'll find many on various legal sites and may also want to contact, if funds are limited the Georgia Innocence Project at http://ga-innocenceproject.org/ . Criminal cases cannot legally be taken on a contingent fee basis, as I am also sure lawyers have previously told you (that would be grounds for disbarrment).
