Wrongful Arrest vs. Wrongful Conviction Understand the Difference

A wrongful arrest means the police had no legal basis to detain you. A wrongful conviction means the system failed at every level: investigation, prosecution, and verdict. An innocent person is incarcerated as a result. The law treats them differently. The remedies are different. The timeline is different. You need an attorney who understands both.
