Federal 2255 Motions

Federal Appeals Attorney to Bring Persuasive § 2255 Motions

A federal defense attorney can assist with § 2255 Motions. If successful, this motion can lead to a new trial, a dismissal of charges, and a release from federal custody.

Habeas Corpus (28 U.S.C. § 2255) Proceedings

A habeas corpus proceeding brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 constitutes a civil action against the government. First and foremost, defense counsel must bring these matters on behalf of only those individuals who are “in custody.” Classic grounds for a habeas corpus petitions include ineffective assistance of trial or appellate counsel, prosecutorial misconduct that affected a defendant’s substantial rights and violations of due process. Hence, a § 2255 habeas corpus motion represents the best legal avenue for individuals who have appellate claims but ones that are not necessarily tied to what took place on the record at a lower level hearing or trial. Rather, when issues arise concerning prosecutorial misconduct by way of a Brady violations, new evidence, witness recantations, or ineffective assistance of trial counsel, individuals should immediately hire a federal appeals attorney to bring these matters to the Court in an efficient, concise, and persuasive fashion.
