Winston-Salem Criminal Appeals Attorneys

What is Post-Conviction Relief?

Post-conviction relief refers to appeals of criminal convictions, which may include release, new trial, modification of sentence and such other relief as ordered by the court.

If you have been convicted of a crime, there is always a chance that a skilled appellate lawyer can help you get a verdict reversed through an appeal or other post-conviction relief.

Expungement May Be an Option

If your post-conviction case is unsuccessful, you will have a criminal conviction on your record. Removing that conviction from your record may be possible under certain circumstances.

The likelihood of you getting an expungement varies depending on a number of factors such as the specific crime, how long ago the conviction was received and your criminal history since the time of the conviction.
