Post-conviction Relief in Nevada: How Our Attorneys at Spodek Law Group Can Help

Have you or a loved one been convicted of a crime in Nevada? Are you feeling hopeless and unsure of what to do next? At Spodek Law Group, we understand the overwhelming emotions that come with a criminal conviction. But we want you to know that you still have options. One of those options is post-conviction relief.What is Post-conviction Relief?Post-conviction relief is a legal process that allows individuals who have been convicted of a crime to challenge their conviction or sentence. This can be done on various grounds, such as:

• Ineffective assistance of counsel
• Newly discovered evidence
• Prosecutorial misconduct
• Constitutional violations

In Nevada, there are several ways to seek post-conviction relief, including:

1. Appeal: If you believe there were errors made during your trial or sentencing, you can file an appeal with the Nevada Supreme Court.
2. Writ of Habeas Corpus: This is a petition filed with the court arguing that your imprisonment is unlawful due to constitutional violations or other legal errors.
3. Motion to Withdraw Guilty Plea: If you pled guilty to a crime but believe your plea was not made knowingly, voluntarily, or intelligently, you may be able to withdraw your plea.
4. Motion to Correct Illegal Sentence: If your sentence exceeds the statutory maximum or is otherwise illegal, you can file a motion to correct it.

Understanding the Grounds for Post-conviction Relief

To be eligible for post-conviction relief, you must have a valid legal basis for challenging your conviction or sentence. Some common grounds include:

• Ineffective Assistance of Counsel: If your attorney failed to provide adequate representation, such as by failing to investigate your case or present evidence on your behalf, you may be able to argue that you received ineffective assistance of counsel.
  • Example: Your attorney failed to call a key witness who could have provided an alibi for you at the time of the crime.
• Newly Discovered Evidence: If new evidence emerges after your conviction that could have changed the outcome of your case, you may be able to seek post-conviction relief on this basis.
  • Example: DNA evidence that was not available at the time of your trial proves that someone else committed the crime.
• Prosecutorial Misconduct: If the prosecutor in your case engaged in misconduct, such as withholding exculpatory evidence or presenting false testimony, you may be able to challenge your conviction on this basis.
  • Example: The prosecutor failed to disclose a plea deal made with a key witness in exchange for their testimony against you.
• Constitutional Violations: If your constitutional rights were violated during the criminal justice process, such as your right to a fair trial or your right against self-incrimination, you may be able to seek post-conviction relief.
  • Example: The police obtained a confession from you without properly advising you of your Miranda rights.

It’s important to note that not every error or issue with your case will necessarily be grounds for post-conviction relief. That’s why it’s crucial to have an experienced attorney review your case and advise you on your options.

Just had my Divorce case settled 2 months ago after having a horrible experience with another firm. I couldn’t be happier with Claire Banks and Elizabeth Garvey with their outstanding professionalism in doing so with Spodek Law Group. Any time I needed questions answered they were always prompt in doing so with all my uncertainties after 30 yrs of marriage.I feel from the bottom of my heart you will NOT be disappointed with either one. Thanks a million.

Alex Zhik contacted me almost immediately when I reached out to Spodek for a consultation and was able to effectively communicate the path forward/consequences of my legal issue. I immediately agreed to hire Alex for his services and did not regret my choice. He was able to cover my case in court (with 1 day notice) and not only was he able to push my case down, he carefully negotiated a dismissal of the charge altogether. I highly recommend Spodek, and more specifically, Alex Zhik for all of your legal issues. Thanks guys!

I don’t know where to start, I can write a novel about this firm, but one thing I will say is that having my best interest was their main priority since the beginning of my case which was back in Winter 2019. Miss Claire Banks, one of the best Attorneys in the firm represented me very well and was very professional, respectful, and truthful. Not once did she leave me in the dark, in fact she presented all options and routes that could possibly be considered for my case and she reinsured me that no matter what I decided to do, her and the team will have my back and that’s exactly what happened. Not only will I be liberated from this case, also, I will enjoy my freedom and continue to be a mother to my first born son and will have no restrictions with accomplishing my goals in life. Now that’s what I call victory!! I thank the Lord, My mother, Claire, and the Spodek team for standing by me and fighting with me. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with this team. I’m very satisfied, very pleased with their performance, their hard work, and their diligence. Thank you team!

I can't recommend Alex Zhik and Spodek Law Firm highly enough for their exceptional legal representation and personal mentorship. From the moment I engaged their services in October 2022, Alex took the time to understand my case thoroughly and provided guidance every step of the way. Alex's dedication to my case went above and beyond my expectations. His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout the entire process. He took the time to mentor me, ensuring I understood the legal complexities involved to make informed decisions. Alex is the kind of guy you would want to have a beer with and has made a meaningful impact on me. I also want to acknowledge Todd Spodek, the leader of the firm, who played a crucial role in my case. His leadership and support bolstered the efforts of Alex, and his involvement highlighted the firm's commitment to excellence. Thanks to Alex Zhik and Todd Spodek, I achieved the outcome I desired, and I am incredibly grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. If you're in need of legal representation, look no further than this outstanding team.

Client Success Stories

At Spodek Law Group, we have helped numerous clients obtain post-conviction relief. Here are a few examples of our success stories:

• John’s Story: John was convicted of burglary based solely on the testimony of a single eyewitness. After his conviction, new evidence emerged that the eyewitness had a history of making false accusations. Our attorneys filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus on John’s behalf, arguing that his conviction was based on unreliable evidence. The court granted John’s petition and ordered a new trial, at which he was found not guilty.
• Sarah’s Story: Sarah pled guilty to drug charges based on the advice of her public defender. However, Sarah later learned that the police had conducted an illegal search of her home and that the evidence against her should have been suppressed. Our attorneys filed a motion to withdraw Sarah’s guilty plea, arguing that she had not been fully informed of her rights and the potential defenses available to her. The court granted Sarah’s motion and allowed her to withdraw her plea.

These are just a few examples of the many clients we have helped over the years. We know that every case is unique, and we are committed to finding the best possible solution for each and every one of our clients.

Why Time is of the Essence

If you are considering seeking post-conviction relief, it’s important to act quickly. In Nevada, there are strict deadlines for filing post-conviction motions and petitions. For example:

• If you want to file a direct appeal, you must do so within 30 days of your sentencing.
• If you want to file a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, you must do so within one year of your conviction becoming final (i.e., after any appeals have been exhausted).

If you miss these deadlines, you may lose your right to seek post-conviction relief altogether. That’s why it’s so important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible after your conviction.At Spodek Law Group, we understand the urgency of these matters and are committed to taking swift action on behalf of our clients. When you contact us, we will immediately begin reviewing your case and exploring all available options for post-conviction relief.
