Letty
S. Di Giulio specializes in serious
felony direct appeals, state post-conviction relief applications, and
federal habeas petitions.
Ms. Di Giulio began her legal career in Chicago, Illinois, where she
represented both capital post-conviction petitioners and non-capital
criminal defendants on appeal on behalf of the Office of the Illinois
State Appellate Defender (OSAD). Returning to her home state of
Louisiana in 2004, she decided to focus exclusively on capital appeals
and post-conviction, representing indigent defendants under sentence of
death on behalf of the Capital Appeals Project (CAP) and The Capital
Post-Conviction Project of Louisiana (CPCPL). She has won
reversals on behalf of her capital and non-capital clients in both
Illinois and Louisiana. Now in private practice, Ms. Di Giulio
continues to devote the bulk of her time and commitment to representing
indigent capital defendants on direct appeal, state post-conviction,
and in federal habeas, but she also accepts a select number of serious
felony cases in these three forums each year.
