Best Federal Post Conviction Lawyer Ever

Elizabeth represented me on a federal §2255 ineffective-assistance petition and later a compassionate release motion. From our first call, I could tell she knew this area of law inside and out. She was responsive, thorough, and completely honest with me about what to expect—no false promises, just ha...rd work and skilled advocacy. She treated me with respect and dignity during an incredibly difficult time. I’m so grateful I found her, and I recommend her to anyone facing federal post-conviction proceedings.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share these kind words. It means a great deal to hear that you felt supported, respected, and fully informed throughout the process—that level of honesty, diligence, and dignity is exactly what every client deserves during such a challenging chapter. Federal post-conviction work, whether a §2255 petition or a compassionate release motion, demands both deep knowledge of the law and genuine care for the person behind the case, and we take both responsibilities seriously. We are grateful for your trust and your recommendation, and we wish you all the very best moving forward.

Practical, respectful help during reentry and supervised release

I reached out to Elizabeth Franklin-Best P.C. while moving from incarceration to supervised release and needed help with several reentry-related issues. Elizabeth provided clear, actionable guidance and treated my questions with respect. I received help thinking through conditions and requirements, f...amily-related concerns, and the practical steps involved in reentry. Communication was consistent, and I didn’t feel judged or brushed off. I’m grateful for the support and would recommend the firm to someone facing similar supervised release and reentry challenges.

Get Your Life Back

I am a model and grad student at NYU. A few years ago I got mixed up with the wrong people and ended up in a federal holding cell. That's when I called Elizabeth Franklin-Best. Not only was I released, but I was able to get my life back. I wouldn't be where I am today without Elizabeth's help.

My highest recommendation! Elizabeth is The Best!

Elizabeth Franklin Best is an outstanding attorney. Betsy more than lived up to her qualifications and reputation! I knew from the initial phone call that she was the one. She was honest and direct. She did not over-promise or confuse us. She listened and explained the options. She developed a... strategy and followed it through. Elizabeth was thorough and did the leg work necessary to get my Uncle out of prison after serving 19 years of a 480-month sentence. She kept us informed of the progress and the outcome was Amazing! The motion was granted several weeks later. Although my Uncle passed days before his release, Betsy was always available to answer questions and provide support and direction for anything else that came along. Thank you, Elizabeth Frankin Best you are THE BEST! Vickie Corley

Vickie, thank you for your kind words. Your uncle’s case was both challenging and deeply meaningful. Securing his release after 19 years on a 480-month sentence required significant effort, and we were honored to be part of that fight. We are profoundly sorry for his passing so close to his release date—there are no words adequate for that loss. Please know that your family remains in our thoughts, and we’re grateful you trusted us with something so important.
