Trial attorneys don't do appeals. He'll have a court appointed appellate attorney after sentencing is completed.
Oh Ga must be different. I know in some case I have followed they have. One I followed in my state he is the appellate attorney (court appointed and they carried it over to the appeals too). Thanks. Sure got different feel from the Def attorneys. Thanks
JMHO, I fully believe that Kilgore, Rodriguez and Lumpkin will follow this thru
Criminal Appeals

At Kilgore & Rodriguez, we have a track record of winning on appeal. As a former law assistant on the Georgia Supreme Court, Maddox understands what the appellate courts are looking for and how to best present a compelling appeal. As a former Assistant Attorney General, Maddox honed his skills in legal research, writing legal briefs, and arguing appeals before the Georgia Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. That experience has resulted in winning appeals:

Even before finishing law school, I gained valuable experience working in both a private defense attorney's office, as well as volunteering in a prosecutor's office. After graduating from the University of Georgia School of Law, I have practiced exclusively in criminal law for the last 20 years. For over a decade, I was a felony prosecutor in Cobb County and in Coastal Georgia. During that time, I worked for four years as a major case prosecutor working on cases involving complex legal, factual, procedural and jurisdictional issues, high-profile crimes, including death penalty cases and the "murder by antifreeze poisoning" case aired nationally on Court TV
