San Diego Post-Conviction Relief Lawyer

What is Post Conviction Relief?

Post-conviction relief refers to the legal process whereby a person or their attorney petitions a court, requesting a reversal of a prior conviction or a modification of a sentence. If the court grants the person’s request, it will vacate the prior conviction or modify the sentence. At Rodriguez Law Firm, our criminal defense attorney has successfully helped many clients reverse their conviction or modify their sentence. Whether you were convicted of domestic violence or another crime, we're here to help.

Call (619) 332-1703 to schedule a consultation regarding post-conviction relief at Rodriguez Law Firm today.

Post-Conviction Relief for Immigrants

An increasing number of legal aliens and undocumented immigrants with felony or misdemeanor convictions are being denied the ability to acquire U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent residency due to a prior conviction. Many more of them are being deported by immigration authorities if their conviction is considered an aggravated felony or a crime of moral turpitude.

If you pleaded guilty to a crime that is being used by immigration officials to deny your application for U.S. citizenship or claim that you are deportable because you have a conviction for an aggravated felony or a crime of moral turpitude, then call us.

Our Approach to Immigrant Post-Conviction Relief

We can help lawful permanent residents and undocumented aliens reverse a past conviction if they pleaded guilty without knowing that the conviction will make them deportable, not be allowed re-entry to the United States, or not be able to become a U.S. citizen.

If hired, we begin by collecting and reviewing court records and court transcripts of the proceedings. We can interview witnesses and the former defense attorney so that we can assess if your 6th Amendment rights to effective assistance of counsel were violated. Once we complete our investigation, and if the information supports the basis for the motion, we can file the appropriate type of motion to vacate the criminal convictions or modify the sentence.
