How to make and win a motion to withdraw a guilty or no contest plea?

In order to convince the court and judge to allow you to withdraw the guilty or no contest plea, the defendant must show good cause. This means his plea was not free and voluntary and with a knowledge of all the facts and circumstances of the case. Examples would be an incompetent lawyer (ineffective assistance of counsel) who failed to advise of all the collateral consequences of the conviction.

Although judges in California are reluctant to grant motions under Penal Code 1018, the will sometimes. If successful, a motion to withdraw the plea deal will allow you to re-litigate the case and seek a better end result.
