Let Lisa

Post-conviction
A Note from My Heart
If you have pled guilty or were found guilty at trial, you may think your life is over. . . but it doesn’t have to be. I have helped many people get post-conviction relief. Helping people is why I became a defense attorney. I consider it my calling in life. I love getting to know my clients and their cases: digging into the details, researching every potential legal issue, and writing persuasive, concise appeals, petitions, and motions. My motto is never give up! No, your life does not have to end. Let me help you!!

A DIFFERENT KIND OF
ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP

WHAT IS POST-CONVICTION DEFENSE?
Lisa defines post-conviction defense broadly as a legal proceeding started by a person with a criminal conviction designed to dismiss the conviction, reduce the sentence on the conviction, or otherwise improve life after conviction. Some examples are:
​
An Appeal
A Protective Order/Injunction Against Harassment Appeal
A Petition for Post-Conviction Relief
A Petition for Federal Habeas Relief
A Petition to Terminate Standard or Lifetime Sex Offender Probation
A Motion to Modify Terms of Standard or Sex Offender Probation
A Petition to Terminate Sex Offender Registration
A Motion to Set Aside Criminal Conviction
A Motion to Restore Civil Rights and/or Gun Rights
A Motion to Seal Criminal Case Records
A Good Cause Exception Application to the Arizona Board of Fingerprinting
A Motion to Designate a Class 6 Felony as a Misdemeanor​
The above list is not intended to be exhaustive. Lisa likes to think outside the box and may be able to help you even if your case doesn’t exactly fit in one of the above categories.
