Sentence Modifications

Sentence Modifications

Have you or a family member been sentenced unfairly? Judges are human. They make mistakes. Under certain circumstances, the court rules permit an application to reduce or correct an improper or unfair sentence. These circumstances often involve inadequate or deficient criminal representation during the course of your case or at the sentencing hearing. Sometimes an unfair sentence is based on the court’s misinterpretation or application of the law. Regardless of the reason, if you or a family member was sentenced unfairly, there are ways to revisit the sentencing decision and request a modification. Do not give up! You have an advocate!
