Hartford, Connecticut Post-Conviction Attorneys

Lawyers for Sentence Modifications, Probation Modifications, and Federal Supervised Release in Hartford, CT

A criminal conviction does not always mean that a case is closed. If you have been convicted of a crime in Connecticut's state or federal courts, you may still have legal options available. There are ways to modify a sentence or secure an early release, and a post-conviction attorney can help determine the best course of action.

Located in East Hartford, Woolf & Ross Law Firm, LLC provides legal representation for clients seeking post-conviction relief. With more than 60 combined years of experience in criminal law, our firm has assisted clients with sentence modifications and other post-conviction matters. We understand that a conviction can have lasting consequences, and we are committed to helping clients pursue all available legal remedies.

How Our Post-Conviction Attorneys Can Assist You

There are several options for post-conviction relief that may be available after a trial has concluded. Our lawyers can review the details of your case and identify the best options that will allow you to move forward.

Some of the key ways in which we can assist with post-conviction matters include:

• Challenging Sentencing Decisions: A judge may have imposed an excessive sentence, or circumstances may have changed since the sentencing. In these situations, our attorneys can help you pursue sentence modifications or other forms of relief.
• Defending Against Parole or Probation Violations: If you are accused of violating parole or probation, our attorneys can defend you against these allegations and work to prevent harsh penalties.
• Addressing Conditions of Supervision: If you are on probation or federal supervised release, our lawyers can help modify restrictive conditions to better align with your current circumstances.

Each case is unique, and we will work closely with you to determine the best legal strategy based on the facts of your situation.

Sentence Modifications

If your state sentence exceeds three years, obtaining a modification generally requires the consent of the prosecuting attorney. Our lawyers can present a compelling argument for a sentence reduction, early termination of probation, or other modifications. Possible reasons for sentence modifications include:

• Completion of rehabilitation programs
• Evidence of good behavior and compliance with probation
• Health concerns that require alternative sentencing arrangements
• Changes in sentencing laws that may affect your case

Probation Modifications

A sentence of probation can place serious restrictions on your life. If you have complied with these requirements, you may be able to take steps to have some of the restrictions lifted, or other modifications may be made to address changes in your circumstances. Our lawyers can provide guidance on the options that may be available, such as fewer check-ins with probation officers or reduced requirements for drug testing. We may be able to negotiate an agreement that will allow you to travel more freely in order to pursue career opportunities. By demonstrating good behavior and showing that you can be trusted to meet the court's requirements, we will work to ensure that you will be able to complete your term of probation successfully while moving forward toward a better future.

Federal Supervised Release

People who are being held in federal prisons may be able to request an early release that will allow them to transition back into life outside of prison. Our lawyers can review your circumstances to determine whether you may be eligible for home confinement or other forms of supervised release. We can work with you to demonstrate that you qualify for an early release due to health issues, because you have demonstrated good behavior, or so you can pursue career opportunities or meet family responsibilities. We will make sure you understand what restrictions will apply to you during your release, and we will help you complete any requirements that courts may impose. With our help, you can transition into a better, more productive life while putting your prison sentence in the past.
