Trial judges, prosecutors, and lawyers often make critical errors which deprive individuals of their constitutional rights to a fair trial and effective representation. As a result, individuals are wrongfully convicted of serious offenses and sentenced to long prison sentences. Both the life of the individual convicted and his or her family members can be harmed forever. Attorneys William R. Ponall, Eric J. Sorice, and Laura L. Cepero are an experienced and highly-skilled team of attorneys who can help you achieve a positive outcome in your case.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-10in9a-9f0d79fa39670f3ed84c48b5a42b02c7\">\n.flex_column.av-10in9a-9f0d79fa39670f3ed84c48b5a42b02c7{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-10in9a-9f0d79fa39670f3ed84c48b5a42b02c7 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_one_third  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lxrwfzmn-98341187ede409dc9388cf32244bb6ee\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lxrwfzmn-98341187ede409dc9388cf32244bb6ee img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lxrwfzmn-98341187ede409dc9388cf32244bb6ee .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lxrwfzmn-98341187ede409dc9388cf32244bb6ee av-styling- av-hover-grow avia_animated_image av-animated-when-visible-95 pop-up avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-8  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ponalllaw.com\/ponall\/218-2-2\/\" class='avia_image'  aria-label='history1'><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-199 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-199 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/ponalllaw.com\/ponall\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/history1-300x213.jpg\" alt='' title='history1'  height=\"213\" width=\"300\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ponalllaw.com\/ponall\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/history1-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ponalllaw.com\/ponall\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/history1-768x545.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ponalllaw.com\/ponall\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/history1-260x185.jpg 260w, https:\/\/ponalllaw.com\/ponall\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/history1-705x501.jpg 705w, https:\/\/ponalllaw.com\/ponall\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/history1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lxv7w1oq-0803aa9a669ef59ec331ac8a2155d5ef '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Established history of success<\/h4>\n<p>If you, a family member, or a close friend finds themselves convicted of a criminal offense and\u00a0facing or serving time in prison, please call us to set up a free initial consultation.
