Like most post-conviction relief options, the process of habeas corpus begins with submitting a petition to the court. To file, you must currently be in custody and have exhausted all other legal avenues of release. The petition must contain where you are being imprisoned and who is detaining you.
Many times, a judge will require you and the official to attend a hearing. During this hearing, you can challenge the legality of your detention. We strongly encourage you to have a legal representative with you during this meeting. You will be required to present evidence as to why your imprisonment is unlawful. Our legal team knows the laws that pertain to these types of cases, and we have a strong track record of success in proving our clients are being illegally detained.
