Bloomington, Illinois - Post-Conviction Evaluations Lawyer

Normal, IL - Expungement Lawyers

If you or a loved one has been convicted of a crime, you may be aware of options like appeals, writs and expungement. In reality, there is a surprisingly wide array of options for post-conviction relief. Those options are related to the crimes involved. For example, the options available for someone convicted of drug possession may vary dramatically from those available to a person convicted of multiple felony offenses. Other factors also play a role.

A post-conviction evaluation can be conducted to find out the options available for post-conviction relief. At Johnson Law Group, our attorneys will move quickly in conducting an evaluation. We encourage you to get in touch with us as soon as possible, as some options may be time-sensitive.

What Is a Post-Conviction Evaluation?

Post-conviction evaluation is a unique service offered by our law firm. It is exactly what it sounds like. We will evaluate your case to determine what options are available to clear your record or provide some other form of post-conviction relief. The evaluation does not require any court appearances on your part.

Post-conviction options include:

• Appeals and writs
• Expungement
• Record sealing
• Pardons and executive clemency
• Sentence modification, including probation and house arrest
• Judicial release
• Recent Supreme Court rulings that may affect your case or sentence

Our experience, as well as our creativity, comes into play in post-conviction evaluations. Often, the solution is complex, particularly in cases involving multiple convictions. We may have to search for different solutions in different jurisdictions. Our lawyers are thorough. If a solution exists to improve your post-conviction situation, we will find it. Even if you are not currently eligible for some form of relief, we will let you know if you will qualify in the future.

Expungement

Expungement is one of the most common methods for cleaning a criminal record. Rules for expungement vary depending on jurisdiction and the crime involved. Our attorneys are able to pursue expungement. If it is not an option, we are able to review alternatives as part of our post-conviction evaluation.

Our record of success speaks for itself. In many cases, we have successfully filed petitions of expungement for clients, despite vigorous and active objections on the part of prosecutors and police.
