We also assist clients in cases where they received ineffective assistance of counsel, took a plea under duress, or were unaware of immigration consequences.
Common Grounds for Appeal or Relief:
-Constitutional violations during arrest or trial
-Incorrect jury instructions
-Ineffective assistance of trial counsel
-Discovery of new evidence
-Prosecutorial misconduct
-Improper sentencing
-Coercive plea bargaining
-Immigration consequences that were not disclosed
Every case is different — and timing is critical. There are strict deadlines for filing appeals and some motions, so acting quickly is essential.
