A: If your boyfriend believes he was wrongfully convicted, it would be prudent for him to consult with an attorney experienced in criminal defense and appellate work. Since this is a matter of Michigan law, he should seek out a Michigan-licensed attorney promptly, as there are strict time limits for challenging convictions, especially if he is considering a motion for relief from judgment or an appeal. The complexity of his case, given the plea under distress and the subsequent investigation findings, requires thorough legal analysis. He should gather all relevant documents, including the plea agreement and any evidence pertaining to the investigation's outcome, and present these to his chosen attorney. Time is of the essence, so immediate action is recommended to ensure his rights are protected within the allowed timeframe.
