A case does not always end once a conviction has been handed down or a plea bargain is accepted. Sometimes, mistakes were made that can and should be raised through the use of a post-conviction motion. These issues need to be carefully outlined and presented, which is why having a criminal defense lawyer on your side with extensive knowledge of the appeals process is crucial.

At the Law Office of Justin A. Bynum, we bring valuable knowledge in the field of criminal law and procedure to every case we handle, including handling the technical realm of appeals and post-conviction motions for all types of cases.

Experienced With Appeals In State And Federal Courts

Our Dallas, Texas, post-conviction motions attorneys have comprehensive knowledge of criminal law and procedure. We are skilled and experienced at researching the law, preparing and filing legal briefs, and confidently arguing legal issues before a judge or panel of judges in state or federal court. We also have experience appealing cases to the Supreme Court of the United States.

There are a number of post-conviction remedies available to an individual aggrieved by an unjust conviction, even if your appeal is initially unsuccessful. At our criminal defense law firm, we handle all types of post-conviction matters, including:

• Motions to set aside a verdict or vacate a conviction
• Writs of habeas corpus
• Leave applications to state or federal appellate courts, including the Supreme Court of the United States
• Requests for a new trial based on the incompetency of trial counsel or prosecutorial misconduct
• Applications based on the discovery of new evidence or witness recantations

Whether your previous attorney failed to advise you of a conflict of interest, you were denied an interpreter and did not understand the proceedings against you, no one counseled you about the immigration implications, or evidence surfaces of juror misconduct, our lawyers will diligently represent your interests. We can identify these trial errors and successfully work toward attaining the client’s desired post-conviction goals that can result in minimizing the consequences and penalties imposed under a conviction.

How Do Motions To Withdraw Pleas Work?

An attorney can write up a motion to withdraw or change a plea. While it can be unusual for a court to grant a motion to withdraw a plea, it does happen. Here are some exceptions that have been made to allow a defendant to change his or her plea:

• If your constitutional rights were violated in obtaining the initial plea such as with coercion
• If your state of mind comes into question such as is the case with mental disease or defect
• If prejudicial conduct occurred during the trial
• If DNA evidence proves defendant’s innocence
• If the court’s jurisdiction over the case comes into question

These are just some possible reasons a plea withdraw may be allowed or considered.

Changing or withdrawing a plea is not a simple matter. Each case needs to be reviewed based on its individual circumstances. The most important thing is to have a good lawyer who knows how to present a motion and what the options are in your case.
