What are the Different Options for Post-conviction relief in California?

California law has various forms of post-conviction relief. Post-conviction we can help with includes:

  • Reductions of felony wobblers to misdemeanors and dismissing the charges
  • Motions to withdraw pleas and vacate convictions for immigration purposes pursuant to California Penal Code Section 1016.5 and 1473.7
  • Certificates of Rehabilitation

 What is the Difference Between an Appeal and Post Conviction Relief?

An appeal is a legal challenge to the trial court or appellate court’s rulings. Appeals usually discuss a legal error that a judge might have made, such as allowing impermissible evidence into the trial, which affected the outcome for the person accused. Post-conviction relief does not necessarily challenge the sufficiency of the conviction. For example, if a person accepted a plea deal and received a conviction, he or she may be eligible to have the court dismiss the charges once the sentence is completed.
