Post Conviction

At Lipman Law Firm, we understand that a criminal conviction can have lasting consequences on your life. If you believe that errors occurred during your trial or sentencing, or if new evidence has emerged, you may be eligible for post-conviction relief under Iowa Code Chapter 822.

What is Post-Conviction Relief?

Post-conviction relief is a legal process that allows individuals convicted of crimes to challenge their convictions or sentences after the trial has concluded. This process is designed to address issues such as:

• Legal Errors
• Newly Discovered Evidence
• Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
• Actual Innocence Claims

The Post-Conviction Relief Process in Iowa

In Iowa, the post-conviction relief process involves filing an application with the court that sentenced you. This application must be filed within three years of the conviction becoming final, although exceptions may apply. The court will review the application, and if it finds merit, may grant a new trial, modify the sentence, or provide other appropriate relief.

Workers Compensation

We understand that workplace injuries can significantly impact your health and livelihood. Iowa's workers' compensation laws are designed to provide benefits to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses, ensuring they receive necessary medical care and financial support during recovery.

Understanding Workers' Compensation in Iowa

Workers' compensation is a no-fault system, meaning benefits are provided regardless of who is at fault for the injury, as long as it was not intentionally self-inflicted. This system covers various types of injuries, including those resulting from accidents, occupational diseases, or repetitive stress.

Benefits Available

Injured workers in Iowa may be entitled to several benefits, including:

• Medical Expenses: Coverage for necessary medical treatments related to the injury.
• Wage Replacement: Compensation for lost wages during the recovery period.
• Disability Benefits: Payments for permanent partial or total disabilities resulting from the injury.
