But i am frankly not sure if they handle your issues. if not, then call the local law schools. many law schools run what is called "legal clinics" which allows students, under the supervision of experienced counsel, to help in cases, including criminal or immigration cases. You also might call a local legal services organization (LSO) and ask for help. even if they can't actually help you (and they might), they can think of some other resources to aid you. i hope this helps.

However, I am looking for a decision that particularly deals on my issue, I was convicted in 191on a drug conspiracy. However, my appellate counsel abandoned my direct appeal and caused me to file a pro se appeal without the assistance of counsel, Under the Supreme Court\'s decision in Evitts v. Lucey, Penson v. Ohio, and other land mark case laws, including Ninth Circuit and Fifth Circuit, a conviction is not final if the right to direct appeal was not waived, and the appellant was denied such right to appeal by counsel. Even Immigration statue and case law does support such. However, when I went to Immigration court in Oakdale Louisiana, the IJ erroneously ordered me removed without any law and statute in support. The BIA supported same in ad hoc manner. While on appeal in the Fifth Circuit, I was forced out of the country. I am looking for case laws to support my case. I am presently out of the country and I know my removal was in violation. I am happy with the recent decisions.
