Conflict Of Interest Appeal

Summary

If you were convicted of a felony and your lawyer failed to disclose a conflict of interest, you may have grounds for an appeal. In North Carolina, you generally have 14 days to file a notice of appeal. If this period has passed, consider filing a Motion for Appropriate Relief (MAR) or a Petition for Post-Conviction Relief. A MAR is a formal request to the court, while a complaint to the bar addresses attorney misconduct. To report a conflict of interest, visit the North Carolina State Bar website, complete the complaint form, and submit it as instructed. For further assistance, consult a local attorney.
