POST CONVICTION RELIEF

Writs & Appeals - Expungements & Pardons

After a conviction,  you may be able to appeal your matter or obtain other post-conviction relief such as a writ of 'Habeas Corpus'. Angela Berry-Jacoby has extensive experience in all post-conviction  relief  matters starting with her school internship with the Office of the California Attorney General in the Criminal Appeals Division. Since then,  she has been attorney of record in numerous appeals and petitions for Writ of  Habeas Corpus and has argued before the California Court of Appeals.

Another form of post-conviction relief Angela can offer you is the process of cleaning up your record.  An  expungement  permits you to lawfully answer that you have not been convicted of a crime with certain specific exceptions.  Please consult with an attorney about this before answering such questions.

A more complete restoration of rights can be obtained through a full pardon by the state’s governor. There are statutory restrictions and prerequisites to the pardon process, and Angela Berry-Jacoby knows this process and the law.
