Lake Forest County, CA Lawyer For Writ Of Habeas Corpus Petitions
What is a Writ of Habeas Corpus Petition?
If you believe you have been detained or imprisoned illegally in California, you can file a habeas corpus petition with the court to seek either: a release from prison, a reduction of your incarceration term, or a change in inhumane or unconstitutional conditions of your imprisonment. A California writ of habeas corpus is considered an “extraordinary remedy” that should only be used in extreme circumstances after all possible appeals have been exhausted.
