Case Review — Initial Case Evaluation - $500
Our Case Review is the first step toward identifying whether a conviction, sentence, or legal outcome may have grounds for post-conviction relief. During this initial evaluation, the Post Conviction Relief Center reviews the available case information to assess potential legal issues, procedural concerns, constitutional claims, or other possible avenues for relief.
This service is designed to help clients understand where their case stands, what potential options may exist, and what pathway may offer the strongest chance for progress. After the review, PCRC will provide guidance on possible next steps and whether further legal support, investigation, document review, or post-conviction action may be appropriate.
The Case Review does not guarantee relief or a specific outcome, but it provides a focused, professional starting point for determining whether a case has a viable path forward.
State Level Post-Conviction Relief (Habeas Corpus, MAR, Rule 3.850, Rule 61, and Other State-Specific Motions) - $3,000
State post-conviction relief provides an opportunity to challenge a conviction, sentence, or plea after the direct appeal process has ended. These remedies vary by state and may include petitions for writ of habeas corpus, Motions for Appropriate Relief, Rule 3.850 motions, Rule 61 motions, and other state-specific post-conviction filings.
At the Post Conviction Relief Center, we help evaluate and pursue state-level remedies based on the facts of the case, the trial record, procedural history, and any constitutional or legal issues that may support relief. Potential grounds may include ineffective assistance of counsel, newly discovered evidence, involuntary pleas, sentencing errors, prosecutorial misconduct, due process violations, or other issues recognized under state law.
Because each state has its own rules, deadlines, and procedural requirements, a careful review is essential before filing. PCRC works to identify the strongest available claims, develop a clear legal strategy, and prepare a path toward possible relief.
State post-conviction relief does not guarantee a new trial, resentencing, release, or any specific outcome, but it can be a critical legal avenue for individuals seeking to challenge an unlawful conviction or sentence.
Motion for Correction / Reduction of Illegal Sentence - $1,000
A Motion for Correction or Reduction of Illegal Sentence is a post-conviction filing used to challenge a sentence that may be unlawful, excessive, improperly calculated, or imposed in violation of statutory or constitutional requirements. This type of motion may be appropriate when the court imposed a sentence that exceeds the lawful maximum, failed to apply required sentencing credits, relied on an incorrect sentencing range, entered an unauthorized punishment, or made another legal error affecting the sentence.
At the Post Conviction Relief Center, we review the judgment, sentencing order, plea or trial record, applicable statutes, and procedural history to determine whether there may be grounds to correct or reduce the sentence. Where viable issues are identified, PCRC helps develop a focused strategy for presenting the strongest available arguments for relief.
A successful motion may result in correction of the sentence, resentencing, modification of the judgment, or another remedy allowed by law. While no outcome can be guaranteed, this service provides a targeted pathway for individuals seeking to challenge an illegal or improper sentence after conviction.
Motion for Modification of Sentence Options - $1,000
A Motion for Modification of Sentence is a post-conviction request asking the court to reconsider, reduce, or adjust a sentence after it has been imposed. This type of motion may be available when there are legal, factual, rehabilitative, medical, compassionate, or other qualifying reasons that support a change in the original sentence.
At the Post Conviction Relief Center, we review the sentencing order, judgment, case history, applicable law, and any supporting circumstances that may justify a modification request. This may include changes in the client’s circumstances, sentencing disparities, rehabilitative progress, hardship factors, health concerns, or other grounds recognized by the court.
PCRC helps identify whether a sentence modification may be available, develops the strongest possible basis for relief, and assists in preparing a clear and persuasive request for the court’s consideration.
A Motion for Modification of Sentence does not guarantee a reduced sentence or release, but it can provide an important opportunity to seek a more appropriate sentence based on the facts, law, and circumstances of the case.

Federal Habeas Corpus Petition (28 U.S.C. § 2254 / § 2255) - $3,000
A Federal Habeas Corpus Petition is a post-conviction remedy used to challenge a conviction, sentence, or detention on federal constitutional or legal grounds. Depending on the case, relief may be pursued under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 for state convictions or 28 U.S.C. § 2255 for federal convictions and sentences.
At the Post Conviction Relief Center, we evaluate the trial record, appellate history, prior post-conviction filings, sentencing issues, and applicable deadlines to determine whether a federal habeas petition may be available. Potential grounds may include ineffective assistance of counsel, due process violations, prosecutorial misconduct, unlawful pleas, sentencing errors, newly discovered evidence, or other constitutional violations that affected the outcome of the case.
Federal habeas petitions are highly technical and subject to strict procedural rules, including exhaustion requirements, time limits, procedural default issues, and limitations on successive petitions. PCRC helps identify viable claims, assess procedural barriers, and develop a clear strategy for presenting the strongest available arguments for relief.
A Federal Habeas Corpus Petition does not guarantee release, resentencing, a new trial, or any specific result, but it can be a critical pathway for individuals seeking federal review of an unlawful conviction or sentence.
Federal Compassionate Release Motion — § 3582(c)(1)(A) - $2,500
A Federal Compassionate Release Motion is a request asking the federal court to reduce a sentence based on extraordinary and compelling reasons. This type of motion may be available to individuals in federal custody who are facing serious medical conditions, advanced age, family emergencies, unusually harsh circumstances, changes in law, rehabilitation, or other factors that may support a sentence reduction.
At the Post Conviction Relief Center, we review the client’s sentence, custody status, medical or family circumstances, rehabilitation record, Bureau of Prisons history, and applicable federal law to determine whether a compassionate release motion may be appropriate. PCRC helps identify the strongest supporting grounds, organize documentation, and prepare a persuasive request for the court’s consideration.
Federal compassionate release motions are subject to specific procedural requirements, including exhaustion or lapse-of-time rules involving the Bureau of Prisons. The court will also consider public safety, the sentencing factors under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), and whether the circumstances justify reducing the sentence.
A Federal Compassionate Release Motion does not guarantee release or a reduced sentence, but it can provide an important pathway for eligible individuals seeking relief based on extraordinary and compelling circumstances.
Federal Rule 60(b) Motion — Relief from a final judgment or order - $3,000
A Federal Rule 60(b) Motion is a request asking the court to provide relief from a final judgment, order, or proceeding under specific circumstances recognized by federal law. In the post-conviction context, this type of motion may be used to challenge a defect in a prior federal habeas proceeding, such as mistake, newly discovered evidence, fraud, procedural error, or other extraordinary circumstances affecting the fairness of the judgment.
At the Post Conviction Relief Center, we review the prior judgment, court orders, habeas filings, procedural history, and applicable deadlines to determine whether a Rule 60(b) motion may be appropriate. Because Rule 60(b) motions in post-conviction cases are highly technical, PCRC carefully evaluates whether the motion challenges a procedural defect or may be treated as an unauthorized successive habeas petition.
This service is designed to identify viable grounds for relief, address procedural risks, and develop a focused strategy for presenting the strongest available arguments to the court.
A Federal Rule 60(b) Motion does not guarantee that a judgment will be reopened, vacated, or modified, but it can provide a limited and important avenue for seeking relief from a final federal judgment or order when extraordinary circumstances justify court intervention.
