The motion to withdraw plea is a tool to eliminate any conviction and remove it from ones record.  It is efficient for eliminating and avoiding a ground for deportation, exclusion and sometimes eliminating any issues regarding “good moral character.”

The motion to withdraw plea may be made in the trial before judgment or within a certain period of time after judgment.  Withdrawal of plea is a discretionary form of relief, and is a tool used in cases of mistake, inadvertance, excusable neglect, or constitutional defects are present.
