Even if you have lost an appeal, the remedy of Post-Conviction Relief (PCR) may be a beneficial option. Through PCR, one may be able to set aside a conviction that involved fundamental unfairness or other Constitutional deficiencies. In this, PCR is similar to the federal court habeas corpus petition. You can get a clear idea of what is involved in a PCR motion by carefully reading New Jersey Rule of Court 3.22.

If, after reviewing Rule 3.22, you think that post-conviction relief may be an option in your case, I would be glad to discuss matters with you, to see if there is a genuine basis for bringing such a motion. I have had handled many of these matters, at the trial and appellate levels, and have filed a number of petitions before the New Jersey Supreme Court.

After the initial consultation, which would be free, a more thorough review of the record might be necessary. There would be a flat fee for this, but if after file review we decide to go forward with the petition, that flat fee would be included in the total. A sliding fee scale applies, and this scale is based on clients’ financial situations.
