Post-Conviction Relief

Post-Conviction Relief Attorney in Morristown

Providing Legal Guidance Through The Post-Conviction Process

While being convicted of a crime can feel like the end of the world, there are options for post-conviction relief. Under New Jersey State Law, if you feel that the court admitted illegally obtained evidence into your trial, you may be able to fight for an overturned conviction.

Post-conviction relief actions must not be taken by just any lawyer, as an improperly handled appeal may actually harm your case. At The Law Offices of Joseph S. Scura, our Morristown post-conviction relief lawyer is highly knowledgeable about how these matters must be handled.

Have you been convicted of a crime and are now looking for relief? Call The Law Offices of Joseph S. Scura today at (973) 832-0841 or contact us online to speak with our post-conviction relief attorney in Morristown!

    "I recommend him and would use him again"
    I was in a super stressful situation in which a driver was claiming I caused damaged to their vehicle while driving amongst other things..Mr Scura answered my initial phone call at 7pm at night, and was extremely knowledgeable and kind. He handled everything professionally, and in a timely manner always responding to all of my questions and obtained a very fair and optimal outcome in my case. I’d like to also mention he took all of the stress out of the situation for me at a time in my life that was immensely stressful! I recommend him and would use him again ( but hopefully don’t have to)
