Bad Advice by Fake Immigration Attorney Overturns Conviction: Rila v. Florida

April 27, 2017 (1 min read)

Rila v. Florida, Apr, 26, 2017, DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA, FOURTH DISTRICT

"Anne Marie Rila appeals the summary denial of a rule 3.850 motion that alleged her plea was involuntary based upon misadvice from a person posing as an immigration attorney. Because her motion states a facially sufficient claim that is not refuted by the record, we reverse and remand for further proceedings."
