Can I appeal a conviction that I plead no contest to ?
Welcome and thank you for your question!Please clarify: why do you want to appeal?
Because I am not guilty..I took the plea because my public "defender"
said I could have it expunged but know I am told differently
Thank you. How long ago did you plead no contest?
I plead no contest in june of 2011
Hi JB...I was released after 93 days in june 2011
Thank you. There is no legal basis to appeal your plea. The court did not make any legal errors in accepting your no contest plea.You can, however, file a motion in the trial court to WITHDRAW your no contest plea. If the judge grants your motion, the conviction is set aside and the case starts all over.What are your options now?If you wish to continue this conversation, click on the Continue Conversation link.
