2255 Motions

Federal Post-Conviction Relief | 2255 Motions

At CNR Law , we represent individuals seeking to challenge their federal convictions or sentences through 2255 motions. If you or a loved one believe your conviction or sentence resulted from constitutional violations, ineffective assistance of counsel, prosecutorial misconduct, or newly discovered evidence, a motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 may provide a path to relief.

What Is a 2255 Motion?

A 2255 motion, also known as a motion to vacate, set aside, or correct a sentence, allows federal prisoners to challenge their conviction or sentence on grounds such as :

Ineffective Assistance of Counsel – If your attorney failed to provide competent legal representation. •
Prosecutorial Misconduct – If the government engaged in improper conduct that impacted your case. •
Constitutional Violations – If your rights under the Constitution were violated, such as due process or fair trial rights.
Newly Discovered Evidence – If new evidence has surfaced that could have changed the outcome of your case.
Jurisdictional Issues – If the court lacked the authority to impose your sentence.

OUR SERVICES INCLUDE :

Case Review & Legal Analysis – Evaluating the merits of your 2255 motion and identifying the strongest claims.
Motion Drafting & Filing – Preparing a well-supported motion with legal arguments and evidence.
Court Representation – Advocating for your case in federal court hearings.
Appeals & Successive Petitions – Exploring further options if your initial 2255 motion is denied.
