You may be eligible for one, more, or none of
the actions that I do.
To determine which option is right for your
case, we must consider:
§
Different time requirements (deadlines)
§
Different remedies (a new trial or just a change in
your sentence)
§
Different standards of proof (clear error, abuse of
discretion, beyond a reasonable doubt, preponderance, a prima facie
case, any showing).
Take the time calculation test here to see what
you may qualify for.

If you are close to the cut-offs, call to set
an appointment as soon as possible.
Have a better future- get your old case dismissed before you
get punished for it.
You hear about cases being dismissed on technicalities. I
find the opposite to be true: cases that should be
dismissed are still around because of a technicality. I
have gotten many dismissed that should have been put down
long ago. They are usually old deferred sentences. Often
the DA and the defendant had agreed to dismiss the case
after a certain period of time, but for some reason, it is
still around. Then, an employer or a landlord does a
background check and finds it. They don’t read all the fine
print that says you complied with the deferred. They simply
skip over you to the next one in line. If it should be
dismissed, get it dismissed, and get on with your life.
