THE LAW OFFICE OF SEAN BROWN WINS CERTIFICATE OF INNOCENCE FOR CLIENT
The client had been convicted of Unlawful Use of a Weapon by a Felon (UUWF) and had been sentenced to 26 months in prison. Several years later, the Illinois Appellate Court reversed the conviction. Following the Illinois Appellate Court’s decision, the client hired the Law Office of Sean Brown, and we filed a Petition for a Certificate of Innocence. The trial court originally denied the petition, but after hearing strong arguments from attorney Sean Brown, the trial court reconsidered its decision and granted our client's petition, finding that we offered sufficient proof of our client's innocence.
