Sometimes given the timing or nature of the proceedings, a common appeal is not available or is not the advisable method of addressing a wrongful conviction. Hawaii law provides for some other limited relief in the form of a Petition brought pursuant to Hawaii Rules of Penal Procedure 40 (or Rule 40 Petition). These Petitions are difficult and uncommon. Mr. Sing has the experience, expertise, and skills needed to overturn your wrongful conviction.
