Important Contributions to Post-Conviction Relief Law in Nebraska

We have experience representing individuals in post-conviction relief proceedings, including appeals and habeas corpus petitions. In one of our most prominent cases, State v. Bishop, 263 Neb. 266, 639 N.W.2d 409 (Neb. 2002), we helped establish the law concerning post-conviction relief in Nebraska.

When you come to our offices seeking post-conviction relief, we will take the time to fully review the record of your case and determine whether there is a legal argument to support further appeals. We will search for violations of your constitutional rights, significant mistakes made by your lawyer or procedural errors that might have affected the ultimate outcome of your case.

Once we have found these mistakes, we will use those opportunities to challenge your conviction and your sentence. As with our initial trial work, we focus on effective communication. We communicate well with judges, clearly establishing the importance of any mistakes that were made during your initial trial.

Set Aside and Vacate Your Previous Convictions Through an Expungement Motion

We can help you reverse your conviction if sentenced to a fine or probation. Also, we can help overturn a conviction if you were not properly advised of the immigration consequences of a guilty plea.
