Specialists in Criminal Relief

WE KNOW THE RULES: ILS specialists study and become experts in the rules of criminal and civil procedure.  If you ever had an attorney who did not have a copy of the Sentencing Guidelines, or did not understand some aspect of the law material to your case, or was chastised by a judge for not knowing a rule; you understand how important it is to know the rules of the game.  Effective research and knowledge of the rules is often the difference between winning and losing.  Post-conviction is a minefield.  You must have an expert.

WE KNOW THE CONSTITUTION:  The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land, and it is the starting point for all forms of post-conviction relief.  If you are in prison in violation of the Constitution of the United States, and if your case is properly pleaded, you are entitled to relief.

WE KNOW JURISDICTION:  The most effective way to obtain relief is to establish that the court never had jurisdiction over the defendant.  We are experts in the intricacies of jurisdiction, and have developed jurisdictional arguments that apply to over 90% of all criminal cases, including plea bargains.  Jurisdictional error has no procedural bar.

WE KNOW PLEA BARGAINS:  Did your attorney know the 14-point test required for every plea bargain to meet the Due Process Clause of the Constitution?  We do.  Does yours meet that test?

WE KNOW OUR CLIENTS:  The only proper way to obtain relief, ither pre or post conviction, is to know the intricacies of the case.  We never take the government's word for anything, but as a matter of procedure review the government's facts, the client's facts, and search for undisclosed facts to obtain the correct version of what acutally happened in a case.

WE KNOW FOIA:  The Freedom of Information Act is one of the most powerful and most underutilized tools that can be used in the attempt to obtain relief for defemdants.  The government almost always conceals material evidence, and we know how to find it.  In one criminal case we discovered over 1,000,000 pages of concealed evidence.  Missing evidence is presumed material, requiring production of the evidence or relief, if argued properly.  Undisclosed evidence is also grounds for an actual innocence claim.  Do you know which agency concealed informant records in your case?  Have you requested records from FINCEN?  The Criminal Division, or the 14 other agencies that have records on you?  Do you know how to get the records expeditiously?  We do.
