We can help with your public defense post-conviction and resentencing cases in a variety of ways:

• Helping spot issues that may benefit your clients in resentencing hearings for youthfulness under Domingo-Cornelio and Ali, Monschke, and other case law developments;
• Providing technical assistance around resentencing options under Washington State law such as 6164 (prosecutor lead resentencing), 5164 (Three Strikes reform), and State v. Blake;
• Providing technical assistance with vacating convictions for constitutional deficiencies, especially failure to provide Padilla advice regarding immigration consequences of a conviction;
• Shaping arguments that may arise during resentencing hearings;
• Building solid release/reentry plans;
• Identifying  experts for mitigation, release planning, and juvenile development;
• Providing sample motions, forms and practice advisories; and
• Researching and analyzing legal and ethical issues;
