Post Conviction

Even after conviction, there may still be options available to you.

Chicago Post Conviction Attorney

Persons who have been convicted of a crime in Illinois have a limited time within which they can attempt to overturn their conviction through a post-conviction petition. The time limit will depend upon factors unique to your case.

Unlike an appeal, which is primarily limited to what happened in your case, post-conviction petitions generally involve an investigation into your case that goes far beyond the courtroom. New evidence and new witnesses form the heart of a successful post-conviction petition. At the Law Office of Michael R. Johnson, we have the experience to recognize winning issues such as the suppression of evidence or ineffective assistance of counsel to help you win a new trial with your post-conviction petition.

Contact us today at 312-706-6150 to learn how we can help you with a post-conviction petition.
