Post Convictions in Orlando and Throughout Florida

A motion for Post Conviction relief is usually a person's last resort to overturn a criminal conviction or be released from prison after a direct appeal has not been successful. The usual grounds to seek post conviction relief are:

• The original trial or appellate attorney was ineffective;
• The defense has recently discovered new evidence that was not known at the time of the trial that could exonerate the defendant;
• The defendant's guilty plea was not freely and voluntarily made;
• The defendant is now subject to deportation and removal from the U.S. due to a criminal conviction;
• The Defendant’s conviction was prohibited by double jeopardy.

Post Conviction motions must be filed within a specific time frame or they cannot be heard by the court, regardless if the defendant would have prevailed on the merits. The procedures and process for filing and litigating Post Conviction motions can be complicated, so it is very important to have a very experienced attorney to handle the process.
