Reply Brief - Habeas Petition California

FLAT FEE - $700

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

I need a reply brief drafted with respect to a habeas petition filed in California with respect to a misdemeanor case.

PROJECT DETAILS

This is a reply brief that is intended to refute the arguments made by the City in their response to my client’s habeas petition. 

My client drafted a declaration in support of the reply brief and I need someone to draft the reply brief and fix the formatting and potentially some of the content of my client’s proposed declaration. 

There is only one issue involved and that is my client’s innocence in light of the alleged victim providing a declaration unequivocally stating that she lied about her allegations at trial.

This writer exceeded my expectations. She reviewed a large record and drafted a clear, well-written brief and proposed declaration in a short amount of time. I’m extremely pleased with her work.

Letter to The Prosecutor

FLAT FEE - $300

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Letter to a prosecutor asking them to agree to enter into a motion to reduce a harsh sentence.

PROJECT DETAILS

This letter involves a case where a man was over sentenced. There was a bar fight that led to a victim being paralyzed and the perpetrator being sentenced to serve 60 years in prison, with 40 in and 20 on parole. The case had a ton of racial undertone. The victim was white and the accused was a black man. The problem with the case is that the victim was by all accounts the aggressor.

Brief for Petition to Expunge Criminal Convictions

FLAT FEE - $200

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Need a brief to support a petition for expungement of criminal convictions pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 40-32-101(g).

PROJECT DETAILS

Tennessee has a relatively new expungement statute allowing a convicted person to seek expungement after 5 years. My client previously had a diverted criminal offense then later was convicted of two Class B misdemeanors. The convictions are over 7 years old and are eligible for expungement. The district attorney opposes expungement because of the prior diversion. My position is that the prior diversion is not a conviction and should have no “deterrent effect” per Blackwell v. State, 605 S.W.2d 832.

The petition, supporting records, and some notes I have will be provided.

COMMENTS
EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS

Excellent writing covering every needed aspect on a brief to support a motion.  Great, detailed research and very much appreciated!

Admissibility of one party consent recordings

FLAT FEE - $240

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

I need a memorandum regarding the admissibility (or lack thereof) of one party consent recordings of statements of a party in a family law case.

PROJECT DETAILS

Although one party consent recordings are clearly legal in WI and statements of a party opponent are admissible as a heresay exception, I need to know if there is any issue I may run into if I try to play these tapes in court and use them as evidence against the other parent. Counsel on the other side is desperate to keep these recordings out of evidence, and is saying there may be some obscure language in the area of the wiretapping statutes that says it’s not admissible. So I’m wanting research and a memo to tell me if anything in those particular statutes or anything else may stop me from admitting these recordings into evidence. They are recordings, some live and some on the phone, between the parents that one of the parents recorded without the other parent’s knowledge.

Plea/Probation Research

FLAT FEE - $75

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Case Law for Stipulating to Intensive Probation in Plea Agreement.

PROJECT DETAILS

I need the case law in AZ that says I can or cannot stipulate to Intensive Probation in a Plea Agreement. 

Recently, the prosecutor and I negotiated a felony plea agreement where the Defendant will do Intensive Probation (as opposed to standard probation). When we went to enter the plea to the court, the Judge rejected the plea and stated there is specific case law that does not allow a judge to do this. Judge said the case law says we cannot stipulate to Intensive Probation in a plea agreement, but that we are allowed to stipulate to Probation (in general, without specifying standard or intensive). Judge said the reason is because the Judge that sentences the Defendant a month after accepting the plea has the sole discretion as to whether they will require Standard or Intensive Probation. Thus, we cannot stipulate to Intensive Probation but can only stipulate to probation. 

All I need is the case that says this.

COMMENTS
EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS

I provided very little guidance on a specific issue and the research she returned covered all of my questions and more. Well done.
