A: Your inquiry provides zero information about why the sentences were illegal or how that illegality might affect either the original length of sentence or eligibility for gain time. An experienced post conviction relief lawyer would need detailed information about the circumstances of the charges, pleas or trials, any appeals and previous post conviction relief motions. The usual 2 year limitation does not apply to challenging an illegal sentene, as long as the same issue has not been previously raised and denied.
