Helping You Move Forward Through Post-Conviction Relief
Last updated on May 24, 2024
No one is perfect. Even if you have been convicted of a crime, you do not deserve to have your past close off your future for the rest of your life. After a conviction, you have plenty of legal options that you can explore to give you a fresh start.
Attorney Peter A. Britton in South Bend has the experience you need to chart these legal waters. At his firm, Britton Law LLC, he assists clients with post-conviction options, including:
- Appeals
- Post-conviction relief
- Sentence modifications
- Work release
- Home detention
- Probation
- Expungement
You should not pursue these highly nuanced remedies without legal counsel. One misstep may prevent you from seeking future relief. Having assisted hundreds of clients in obtaining post-conviction relief, attorney Britton understands the procedures, paperwork and technicalities involved in this area of the law.
Get A Fresh Start With An Expungement
Indiana courts know that a criminal charge on your record can hold you back from jobs, housing and higher education. By expunging your record, you can seal it from public view. Most misdemeanors and felonies qualify for expungement, with a few exceptions. You can sit down with attorney Britton to discuss your past in detail and learn about your eligibility.
Modifications: Can You Change Your Sentence?
Sentences are not always final. Filing a motion to modify a conviction may grant you a lighter sentence than you originally received. Granted, obtaining a modification is not always easy. You should work with a lawyer who knows how to put together a persuasive, cohesive petition.
