In desperate need of a criminal lawyer specializing in appellate cases.

Michael Ufferman is a good Criminal Appeal Lawyer - his contact info is on Avvo - but you will not likely find a good criminal appeal lawyer that will handle his federal case for no cost.

Or, if you do not have funds, you might contact the Federal Public Defender in Miami, to see how it might be possible to have an attorney appointed: Federal Public Defender, 150 W Flagler St # 1700, Miami, FL, (305) 536-6900 for purposes of a federal habeas.;

I agree with my colleagues that your brother should start by applying for the assistance of the federal PD, as few lawyers do criminal appeals on a pro bono basis. In addition, appeals have strict time limits, and you give no indication as to when this occurred. Good luck.
