A:
I can't tell if you are asking about a case from Texas or Minnesota but I can tell you that Texas has a very short period after a case is resolved to start the appeals process so you should probably start calling attorneys who take criminal appeals ASAP. If it has been more than a month you should probably concentrate on attorneys who SPECIALIZE in post conviction appeals because it may require an extraordinary remedy to even get an opportunity to be heard.
Since you are dealing with a criminal case with immigration consequences, you should probably familiarize yourself with the famous Supreme Court case of Padilla v. Kentucky and its progeny.
