Securing Your Constitutional Rights

Not all trial errors can be addressed through criminal appeals. As a result, incarcerated individuals can try to challenge the validity of their convictions through post-conviction relief. This is equivalent to petitioning for habeas corpus in federal court.

The criminal defense attorneys at our firm handle post-conviction relief motions for individuals who believe their constitutional rights were violated. We devote substantial resources to investigating any errors or mistakes ultimately leading to a wrongful sentencing, including:

• Poor recommendations by your former attorney to enter a guilty plea
• You were convicted for more serious charges than what you committed
• Your former lawyer failed to pursue appropriate legal measures
• Your sentence does not fit the crime you committed

Our legal team has succeeded in numerous appeals and post-conviction relief hearings. We have secured favorable results to help clients withdrawal their guilty pleas and obtain a reduced sentence. In rare circumcises, we have helped individuals gain their freedom through a case dismissal.
