Post Conviction Relief Results by John MacDonald
November, 2012: Client was ordered removed based upon a 1997 possession of cocaine conviction.
Client was denied the ability to apply for cancellation on this conviction due to a 1982 breaking and entering charge that constituted an aggravated felony. Attorney MacDonald filed post-conviction relief in the 1997 matter.
After a full hearing, the trial judge did not render a decision for over a year.
Not willing to wait, Attorney MacDonald filed post-conviction in the 1982 matter and successfully amended the sentence so that it no longer constituted an aggravated felony.
Client is now eligible to re-open the removal case and apply for cancellation.
