Newark Attorney Handling Post-Trial Motions and Other Post-Conviction Matters in New Jersey and New York Criminal Courts

A criminal conviction is not necessarily final. In fact, through post-trial motions and other post-conviction actions, a skilled criminal defense lawyer can challenge a wrongful conviction, correct improper sentencing, or seek a lesser or different sentence. In appropriate situations, an attorney can seek expungement of a criminal record.

For many years, criminal defense attorney James S. Friedman has helped clients obtain relief from the adverse effects of criminal convictions. If you believe your constitutional rights were violated, or your sentence is unduly harsh, contact the criminal defense firm of James S. Friedman, LLC for a consultation.
