Post-Conviction Relief And Covid-19

Post-conviction relief is rapidly becoming pertinent with the spread of COVID-19. North Carolina post-conviction relief comes through a filing titled “Motion for Appropriate Relief.” In federal criminal court, we work on Compassionate Release filings under the First Step Act. This is important because individuals are looking to try and secure home confinement due to the COVID-19 epidemic. Accordingly, it’s imperative that our community knows we can help with such matters.

Provisions for relief come from the Eighth Amendment and state laws. Contact us now for more information on North Carolina post-conviction relief.
