Post Conviction Relief

A Motion for Post Conviction Relief is used to ensure that an individual has not been wrongfully convicted in a criminal court and that their constitutional rights were protected throughout trial and the plea agreement process. A Motion for Post Conviction Relief is not a substitute for a criminal appeal. It is designed to safeguard against gross violations of one’s constitutional rights. A Motion for Post Conviction Relief may be available even when your criminal appeal was denied.

Our firm advises clients on how a Motion for Post Conviction Relief may benefit them and review and analyze in detail their case to determine any and all possible grounds for the application. We outline a successful approach for filing the application based upon those specific grounds. If you believe that your constitutional rights have been violated by a criminal conviction and your immigration status was jeopardized, contact our office to schedule a consultation so we may determine if a Motion for Post Conviction Relief is available to you. Our firm will zealously and diligently fight for your rights.
