Actual innocennce can be brought up through a corum nobis procedures (CPL Section 440.) If you are looking for a lawyer to bring a 440 motion and would like to speak to me, please contact me through the links below.

It can be difficult to withdraw a plea once it has been entered and the person has been sentenced. However, it is possible to file a 440 motion and to have a hearing where the judge would consider evidence as to why she or he should allow the defendant to withdraw their plea. Please contact my office if we can be of any assistance in this matter.
