What is a Writ of Habeas Corpus?
While everyone has heard of the "Writ of Habeas Corpus", very few people, including many lawyers, have a clear sense of what it is and what it's used for. The Habeas Corpus Writ dates back to 14th Century England and is a legal action that prevents the government from keeping someone in custody wrongfully.
In my 25+ years as a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney, I have successfully used the Habeas Corpus Writ to help wrongfully incarcerated individuals and I'm particularly proud of this part of my criminal law practice.
How is the Writ of Habeas Corpus Used?
The Writ of Habeas Corpus is used when there is some question about whether the government has the authority to hold a person in custody. When there is a issue about whether the incarcerated person actually committed a crime, or whether the State followed proper procedures in the process of taking and holding the person, the Habeas Corpus Petition forces the Court to look at the circumstances of the arrest and incarceration to decide whether the individual should go free.
If you have reason to believe that someone close to you is being held wrongfully, you may have grounds for bringing a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. I have dedicated myself to mastering the Habeas Corpus Writ process and have successfully brought the Habeas Corpus Writ into California Courts.
I start by reviewing the records of the case in minute detail, with support from my team of paralegals and investigators. We frequently find that mistakes were made, which forms the factual basis for our Writ.
