Hello Shweta, Thanks for your revert. Please help me what I am doing wrong here as when i click on the button depending upon the Status picklist value it's not creating the account and contact record. 
global class ConvertLeadCustomClass
{  

    webservice static void method1(ID tid)
    { 

        List<Account> accList=new List<Account>(); 
        List<Contact> conList=new List<Contact>(); 


        Map<id,id> projmap=new Map<id,id>();         

        for(Custom_Lead__c lead:[select Stage__c from Custom_Lead__c where Custom_Lead__c.Id=:tid])
        { 
            if(lead.Stage__c=='Closed Converted')
            {
                Account a= new Account();
                a.Name='ConvertedLeadAccount';
                accList.add(a);
                Contact c=new Contact();
                c.LastName=a.Name;
                c.AccountID=a.Id;
            }
        }
        if((conList.size()>0)&&(accList.size()>0))
        {
        insert accList;
        insert conList;
        }
                 
        
    } 

} 
 

Buttons code:
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/30.0/connection.js")} 
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/30.0/apex.js")} 
a = sforce.apex.execute("ConvertLeadCustomClass","method1",{tid:"{!Custom_Lead__c.Id}"}); 

if(a == "It has been converted Successfully"){ 

alert(a); 

} 

else{ 

location.reload(); 

}

Sorry the Javascript button will be :
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/30.0/connection.js")}  
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/30.0/apex.js")}  
a = sforce.apex.execute("ConvertLeadCustomClass","method1",{tid:"{!Custom_Lead__c.Id}"});  

if(a!=null)
{  
a="It has been successfully Converted";
alert(a);  
}  

else{  
location.reload();  

}

It's creating Account but not Contact..I have no idea why
