There are many circumstances where you may require legal representation even after you have been convicted of an offense. Our attorneys are experienced in representing defendants on Appeals, Probation Violations, Parole Violations, State and Federal Sentencing, and Motions for Appropriate Relief. There is no reason to accept a more severe punishment than you deserve, or suffer the consequences of a flawed conviction.
In some rare cases, it may be possible to vacate a prior criminal conviction. If your conviction was obtained in violation of your Constitutional Rights, or your attorney did not provide effective assistance of counsel, you may want to file a Motion for Appropriate Relief. If successful, this could result in having your conviction stricken.
Our firm is very experienced in Motions for Appropriate Relief. Scott Coalter lectured at the Criminal Masters session of the Advocates for Justice seminar on this very topic. However, Motions for Appropriate Relief are very complex and depend on the specific facts of each individual case. It is necessary to obtain the complete court file, the court reporter’s note, if available, and prepare affidavits in most cases. The Motion must then be argued before a Judge.
Despite the difficulties, we are very proud of our record of success in both District and Superior Court on Motions for Appropriate Relief.
