Section 2255 Habeas Corpus Petitions

A Section 2255 habeas corpus petition enables a prisoner to obtain relief in cases where the prisoner received ineffective assistance of counsel at trial, or when new evidence can be presented. In both instances, the petitioner must show that a different outcome would have resulted. This is very difficult to prove. While thousands of Section 2255 petitions are filed every year, courts grant relief to only a very small percentage of petitioners.
 
To succeed, a petition must be thoroughly grounded in fact and supported by cogent legal arguments. Our firm will carefully examine all aspects of your case. If our analysis shows that there is a real possibility of success, we will work to prepare a strong and persuasive document designed to achieve relief for you.
