After a plea of guilty, or following an unsuccessful appeal, the accused may file a petition for post-conviction relief.  Known as a “Rule 32” or a “PCR,” these petitions often raise issues relative to the competency and effectiveness of trial counsel, changes in the law, or the discovery of new evidence.  These petitions are much more than filing a legal memorandum with boiler plate case law.  A successful Rule 32 requires thorough investigation into the facts of the case, and meticulous research of the legal authorities.  The contents of the first petition must be both exhaustive as to the factual issues, and complete and up to date as to the law. You only have one chance to file this petition, so it’s important to hire the best counsel you can find.  We utilize our team of skilled investigators and legal researchers to bring all relevant arguments to the court’s attention.  Our attention to detail and unique approach to these critical petitions produces results.  We have a greater than average success rate in obtaining evidentiary hearings for our clients.  Our post-conviction services also include petitions for review to the Arizona Court of Appeals, the Arizona Supreme Court, and representation at all levels of federal habeas corpus
