I Need a Post Conviction Relief

Post Conviction Relief

Post Conviction Relief from unjust sentence or appeal

Post Conviction Relief

How do I get relief from an unjust sentence?

Once you are convicted there are a few different routes to get out of the penitentiary as soon as possible. If you have gone to trial and lost the verdict, the method would first be to appeal the trial court for a remand or reversal. You have limited time to do this, and your private attorney or public defender will have told you about this.

“Reversible error” is rare, but possible. However, a remand can make all the difference. This means, that the appellate court will look at any issues found to be in error by the trial court. A remand places the burden back upon the trial court to resolve these issues.

I need to appeal my trial!

You may be able to. However, time is of the essence.

I need an out-of-time appeal!

You may be able to. However, yet again, time is of the essence.

Do you feel like you’ve already paid your debt to society?

You may ask yourself… how will the parole board treat me? How will the Mississippi Department of Corrections handle me? What kind of time can I expect?  The answer: talk to an attorney. Not just any attorney. Call us: Panter Law Firm, PLLC.

If you are curious about your area, call us. We handle these cases. They are time sensitive. The sooner you call, the better.
