Our Services
Post-Conviction Appeals
If you believe that your conviction was unjust, we can help you through the appeal process. Our attorneys are skilled in handling felony and misdemeanor appeals, thoroughly reviewing trial records to uncover legal errors, inconsistencies, or violations of your constitutional rights. We aim to secure a favorable outcome by presenting strong arguments before the appellate court.
Article 78 Proceedings
In certain situations, it may be necessary to challenge the actions of a government agency or official, even after a conviction. Through Article 78 proceedings, we can help you challenge the decisions made by courts, parole boards, or other agencies that may have unfairly impacted your case. Our legal team works diligently to protect your rights and ensure the integrity.
Section 440.20 Motions (Sentencing Errors)
Sometimes, sentencing errors or issues arise after a conviction has been handed down. A Section 440.20 motion allows us to challenge a sentence if there was an illegal or improper sentence imposed. Whether due to errors in sentencing, a lack of proper legal consideration, or other discrepancies, we are prepared to advocate for a fair resolution.
Section 440.10 Motions (New York Criminal Procedure Law)
If you believe that there were errors or injustices during your criminal trial, Section 440.10 motions provide an avenue for seeking relief. These motions may be filed to vacate a judgment based on new evidence, legal mistakes, or other compelling reasons. We have a thorough understanding of the legal grounds required to file a successful motion and will fight for the best.
Section 440.47 Motions (Post-Conviction Relief)
In addition to other post-conviction relief methods, Section 440.47 offers the potential for seeking a reduction in sentence or other forms of relief. Our legal team can evaluate whether this option is viable for your case, ensuring that all necessary steps are taken to pursue your best interests.
Federal Habeas Corpus Petitions
For individuals convicted under federal law, habeas corpus petitions may offer an opportunity for relief after all other avenues have been exhausted. Our attorneys are well-versed in federal habeas corpus law and can provide guidance on challenging a conviction based on constitutional violations, ineffective assistance of counsel, or other serious issues that may have affected your case.
