Legal Help With Post-Conviction Matters in Conroe, TX

Following a criminal conviction, our lawyers can explain the options that may be available for defendants and offer guidance on how they can protect their rights. We can assist with:

• Writs of habeas corpus - In cases where defendants wish to put forward newly-discovered exonerating evidence or where their rights have been violated, writs of habeas corpus can be a powerful method of seeking relief. We can help defendants apply for both state writs and federal writs that will address false convictions or unfair sentences.
• Direct appeals - Following the conclusion of a trial, a verdict or sentence may be challenged through a criminal appeal. Our attorneys can provide guidance on when appeals may be used to address legal errors that took place during a trial or other legal issues that led to a wrongful conviction or unjust sentence. We can help pursue both state appeals and federal appeals, and with our experience representing clients in these types of cases, we can ensure that the proper procedures will be followed during the appeals process.
• Parole - Criminal convicts will usually be eligible for parole after serving some of a criminal sentence, but certain criteria will apply, and a prisoner must provide the necessary information to show that they should be allowed an early release. We can help address a variety of concerns related to parole, including preparing for a parole review and ensuring prisoners understand their eligibility for mandatory release.
• Expunction and non-disclosure - A criminal record can cause difficulties in a person's life, but people who have been convicted of certain crimes and completed their sentences may take steps to clear their records and improve the opportunities that are available to them. We can provide guidance on when criminal records may be expunged or sealed, and we can assist in applying for this form of relief.
