Post Conviction Results
Prison Freedom due to Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Summary
Our client faced a challenging legal battle after pleading guilty to Possession of Marijuana in a Drug-Free Zone, a 3rd Degree Felony.
This plea came about due to poor legal guidance and ineffective assistance of counsel, leading him to believe that a plea deal was his best option. Unfortunately, he was unaware that his plea resulted in a mandatory 5-year prison term with no possibility of parole.
The Challenge
Navigating the complexities of the legal system can be daunting, especially when faced with a potentially life-altering sentence. Our client found himself in this exact situation, burdened by the thought of spending five years behind bars without any chance for parole.
The Solution

The Outcome
Through relentless advocacy and expert legal maneuvering, Jacob Blizzard and Sarah Durham successfully challenged the previous plea agreement. Their efforts led to the total dismissal of the harsh 5-year prison sentence, ultimately securing our client’s freedom.
