Post-Conviction Relief

Your Past Doesn’t Have to Define Your Future

Many people don’t realize that a past criminal conviction can be challenged, modified, or even vacated—especially when the conviction is creating immigration consequences that were never explained at the time of the plea.

At Not Guilty Law Group, we use every available legal tool to correct past mistakes and protect your future.

Our Post-Conviction Services Include:

Motions to Vacate Convictions  (Penal Code 1473.7)

If you were never properly advised about the immigration consequences of your guilty plea, the conviction may be legally invalid. We file motions to vacate and pursue new, immigration-safe dispositions.

Expungements (Penal Code 1203.4)

Clearing your record of eligible convictions so they no longer appear on background checks and no longer affect your opportunities.

Resentencing and Reduction of Charges

In some cases, felony convictions can be reduced to misdemeanors, or sentences can be modified to eliminate immigration consequences.

Certificates of Rehabilitation

Demonstrating your rehabilitation to the court to support immigration applications and restore civil rights.

Post-Conviction Relief May Help You If:

• You pled guilty years ago and are now facing deportation because of that conviction.
• Your green card or citizenship application was denied because of a criminal record.
• You were never told that your plea would affect your immigration status.
• You want to clear your record to access better jobs, housing, or educational opportunities.

Think Your Conviction Is Permanent? It Might Not Be.
