Highly Skilled Post-Conviction Relief Representation

Did you accept a plea agreement that you should not have? Was it only after the fact that you understood the key elements of the agreement and how bad they were for you?

Having signed the agreement does not preclude you from being able to take action to fight for a better deal later. At The Nolan Law Firm, we can help you understand your post-conviction relief options.

How Post-Conviction Relief Differs From An Appeal

Post-conviction relief is available to those who have entered into plea agreements or who have been convicted at trial, have appealed, and have lost the appeal. An appeal is a form of relief that is only available to rectify the outcome of a trial.

Issues that can serve as the basis for post-conviction relief include the discovery of new exculpatory evidence and ineffective assistance of legal counsel.

Motions To Set Aside

In many states, when people want to put their criminal record behind them, they can petition the court for an expungement. In Arizona, we have no such option. But a motion to set aside does allow a judge to place a notation that, since the time of the conviction, he or she has found good cause to vacate the judgment.

Motions To Terminate Lifetime Probation

Another option is a motion to terminate lifetime probation. For those who have lived under probation, there is little doubt as to the stress and difficulties it can create. No one wants to spend the rest of their life thinking they are one mistake away from being returned to prison for a probation violation.
