Post Conviction Relief

If you have already been convicted, I can review your case even after it has gone to court.

If you were unrepresented, or perhaps not represented as well as you thought you should have been, I can order the case file from the court and the police department, and make an independent assessment of your case.

If things were missed in your case, I can seek to reopen the case. I can then make an application to have your charges dismissed.

These applications for relief have been successful in the past, with charges dismissed even years after conviction.

This process is called "Post Conviction Relief".

If you are currently facing a second or third offense, I can review your first and/or second conviction. If your conviction can be overturned in one of those cases, then the potential penalties you will be facing in your current case will be reduced significantly. Ask me how I can help you with this. When I am representing you in a current case, I usually do not charge anything extra to review the records from these prior cases, since I want to do everything I can to help you during this critical time.

Appeal

If you were represented by someone else in your DWI matter, I may still be able to help you.

You have 20 days from the date of your conviction to file an appeal to the Law Division, or county level court. That court will review the testimony from the Municipal Court, and, where warranted, can find you not guilty and dismiss the charges against you.

If you have already appealed to the Law Division, I can help you with an appeal to the Appellate Divsion. You have 45 days from the date of your conviction in the Law Division to appeal to Trenton. This appeal involves "questions of law", as opposed to resolving factual issues.
