Post-conviction representation across five jurisdictions — Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, New Jersey, and New York. We review closed and sentenced cases for the avenues of relief that may still be available.
Post-conviction remedies carry strict, often short deadlines that vary by court. An early review helps identify which options may apply before those deadlines pass.
The Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. was founded in 1997 by Mr. Sris, Owner and Founder and a Former Prosecutor. That courtroom background shapes how the firm reads a case once the verdict is in — where the record was built, what was preserved, and where the law may leave room to challenge the result.
Mr. Sris testified in support of Virginia House Bill 635 (2019) before the House Courts of Justice Committee. He is admitted to practice in Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, New Jersey, and New York.
The firm concentrates in criminal defense and post-conviction matters and works with a team of Of Counsel attorneys across these jurisdictions. Individual attorneys are admitted in specific jurisdictions; not all attorneys are licensed in all states, and each matter is handled by an attorney admitted in the relevant jurisdiction.
Our intake team assists prospective clients in English and Spanish, and is staffed 24/7/365 at the toll-free line.
A direct appeal asks a higher court to review the trial court for legal error. Appellate deadlines are short and jurisdictional. We examine trial records, preserved objections, evidentiary rulings, and sentencing for issues that may support an appeal in state courts or the U.S. Courts of Appeals.
When a direct appeal is exhausted or unavailable, relief may still be pursued through post-conviction petitions — raising issues such as ineffective assistance of counsel, newly discovered evidence, or constitutional violations.
An alleged probation violation can expose a person to the original suspended sentence. We represent clients at violation hearings, contest the alleged violation, and present mitigation to the court.
We prepare clients and their families for parole board hearings — assembling release plans, supporting documentation, and testimony aimed at presenting the strongest complete picture to the board.
Expungement can remove eligible arrests, charges, or convictions from public records. Eligibility differs sharply across VA, MD, DC, NJ, and NY. We assess eligibility under the framework that governs your record.
Where full expungement is not available, sealing may limit who can access a record. We review eligibility and the practical effect of sealing under each state's rules.
We represent individuals who are subjects, targets, or witnesses in federal grand jury proceedings, and advise on rights and obligations at each stage.
We aim to match each post-conviction matter to an attorney admitted in the relevant bar and experienced in the type of matter — not a rotating queue. Assignment is made based on the case, the court, and the jurisdiction where you need counsel admitted.
