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.
​
