Post Conviction Relief Act Petitions (PCRA)
The attorneys at Rewis & Yoder, P.C. have extensive experience in motions for post-conviction relief and we will review the transcripts from your trial or plea in order to determine if your constitutional rights have been violated.
The procedures governing state court motions for post-conviction relief are an additional safeguard built into our criminal justice system, and are designed to provide yet another means of ensuring a defendant has not been wrongfully convicted, and that their constitutional rights were fully protected, both before and during trial, at the time of sentencing, as well as during the plea process.
Our firm frequently advises clients seeking to use the post-conviction relief or habeas corpus process to challenge the validity of their convictions, and works with defendants to analyze possible grounds for such applications. Even if your appeal was unsuccessful, you may still be able to challenge the validity of your conviction by means of a motion for post-conviction relief or a habeas corpus petition.
