Re: Post Conviction Release

Based on what you have written, there may be mulitple ways to potentially achieve your objective. First, there is a process called habeas corpus. Second, dependent upon the specific circumstances of your brother's case, you might be eligible for filing an appeal. You need to consult with a local criminal defense law firm to advise you you further in regards to your brother's case. If my local criminal defense law firm can assist you with this legal issue or any other legal matter, please contact my legal assistant Jennifer ([email protected]) to arrange for an initial consultation.

The only way to attack your brother's conviction at this point is through the writ of habeas corpus. A qualified criminal defense lawyer can explain how the writ may be used to challenge your brother's confinement based on a constitutional right violation.
