Post-Conviction Resources

The system is designed to exhaust you.

Families don’t lose because they stop caring — they lose because the system makes it impossible to keep up.
Missed deadlines, ignored grievances, and buried evidence aren’t mistakes — they’re tactics.
That’s why we exist.
Bellatorax isn’t about “helping” — it’s about building proof, protecting rights, and fighting back with precision.

Post-conviction means everything that happens after a person is sentenced.
It’s how you challenge an illegal sentence, file new evidence, or correct a mistake the court refused to see.
Most families don’t realize — the clock starts ticking the moment judgment is entered.
Knowing your deadlines, motions, and evidence rights can mean the difference between freedom and finality.

We Work With the Ones the System Forgot.

Families trying to file a 3.800 or 3.850 but don’t know where to start.
Inmates facing illegal sentences, double jeopardy, or lost gain time.
Loved ones trying to organize exhibits, records, or new evidence.
Advocates who need help translating DOC policies into action.

Rule 3.800 — Illegal Sentences

Used when the court sentenced outside legal limits or misapplied enhancements.
No time limit — but timing still matters.
We review sentencing documents and find what others overlooked.

Rule 3.850 — Post-Conviction Relief

When ineffective counsel, new evidence, or constitutional errors exist, this is your move.
2-year window. One shot. No room for mistakes.
We build, edit, and proof every 3.850 as if someone’s freedom depends on it — because it does.

Rule 3.853 / Federal Habeas / Appeals

For DNA evidence, or when state remedies fail.
These aren’t “last resorts” — they’re leverage.
We help you organize every prior filing and prepare the federal-ready package courts expect.

Motion drafting & review (3.800 / 3.850 / Habeas)

When someone’s freedom depends on paperwork, every word matters.
We review, edit, and help draft post-conviction motions under Rule 3.800 (Illegal Sentence), Rule 3.850 (Post-Conviction Relief), and Federal Habeas (28 U.S.C. §2254).
Each motion is analyzed for errors, missing arguments, and overlooked case law that could reopen the door to justice.
Whether you’re correcting a sentence enhancement or proving ineffective counsel, our focus is simple: build filings that courts can’t ignore.

Legal research & case comparisons

We don’t rely on guesswork — we rely on precedent.
Every argument is backed by real case law, statute interpretation, and parallel rulings from Florida and federal courts.
We cross-reference your facts against prior decisions to find patterns, contradictions, and overlooked rulings that strengthen your position.
Our goal is to turn legal research into leverage — because the strongest motion isn’t the longest, it’s the one that’s impossible to dismiss.

Sentence audits (enhancements, double jeopardy, YO Act)

We break down your sentence line-by-line to find where it went wrong.
From firearm enhancements under §775.087, to Double Jeopardy violations, to Youthful Offender Act (§958.04) misapplications — every calculation, credit, and classification is verified.
If the sentence doesn’t match the law, we find it — and document it in a way that demands correction.
Because sometimes freedom isn’t denied by the court — it’s hidden in the math.

Exhibit preparation & organization

Your evidence only matters if it’s presented right.
We help format and structure exhibits, affidavits, transcripts, and records so they meet court standards and clearly support your claims.
That means labeled, indexed, and properly referenced documentation that tells a story — not a pile of paper.
When your case file looks like a professional submission, it gets professional attention.

Policy & grievance documentation for supporting evidence

The DOC’s own paperwork can become your best defense.
We connect grievances, medical records, classification logs, and internal policy violations to support claims of ineffective counsel, constitutional violations, or sentencing errors.
By using the Department’s language against itself, we help you build proof that can’t be dismissed as “allegation.”
Because every rule they write leaves a trail — and we know how to follow it.

You don’t need a law degree — you need strategy.
Our work translates complicated post-conviction law into clear, precise steps that get taken seriously in court.
We don’t guess. We research, cross-reference, and build airtight foundations that can survive any courtroom test.
