In Tennessee, even if things have not turned out as hoped at trial, and the appeals have not gone your way, there is still one more procedural remedy remaining – the post-conviction relief statute.
Post-conviction relief is meant to remedy constitutional violations at the trial court level. Juror selection issues, violations of due process rights, and ineffective assistance of counsel are just a few of the reasons a conviction or guilty plea can be overturned. The procedures to pursue post-conviction relief can all be found in T.C.A. Sec. 40-30-101 et seq.
To learn more about the post-conviction process, contact us, or go to our post-conviction relief page. You only have 1 year after entering a guilty plea or the last appeal to file for relief. If you think we can help, contact us immediately.
