A: If you believe your convictions were unconstitutional and you're currently on federal probation, you should consider seeking legal counsel to review your case. An attorney can evaluate the specifics of your situation and advise whether there are grounds for an appeal or a motion to vacate your sentence under case law.

Post-conviction relief can be complex, and it often requires thorough legal analysis and procedural steps that must be followed carefully.

It's also important to act promptly because appeals and similar actions are subject to strict time constraints. You might also want to discuss with your attorney the impact any actions could have on your current probation status. Keep in mind that success in these matters is never guaranteed, but the first step is always a detailed review of your case by a legal professional.
