Going through this now in CT. The amount of hoops they make you jump through is wild. It's worth it though. I pray it all goes well, never had a violent felony...non violent felony...and I want a pardon for my gun rights and for employment to get better iobs.
I wish this was possible in the state of Massachusetts. When I was 19 violated probation which turned everything straight to guilty. Sentenced to 45 days released after 30 days. Never had another arrest again almost 30 years later and the immature choices still haunt and prevent many things. Nothing violent yet the state took my conceal carry and all state firearms rights away. Was able to get my record sealed but that only seals it from public and does not reinstate your rights to 2a. Cannot understand how a state can sentence you then strip your constitutional rights after you’ve paid that debt to society. If it was violent or sexual offense I’d understand but that state uses any offense to disqualify you. Heading toward 30 years of no issues and if that doesn’t demonstrate a change to law abiding citizen idk what does. The mind of an immature teen has the adult nearing 50 years old still paying the price. There really should be doors available to redeem yourself. I make it a mission to teach my children not to follow their friends in doing bad things for moral sake and a record that will haunt you. It’s a lifetime price that cannot be paid and moved on from.
So, can a person just go down to the arresting county police department a request for a record seal or expungement first??? Then go for a pardon if that doesn't work... The pardon sounds like it takes way longer than applying for the seal or expungement... Some police stations do it upon your walking in and requesting.....
The police will not help with any of these records until they get an Order from Court telling them to clear it - that is what an expungement is. Misdemeanor and felony convictions need to be pardoned before they can be expunged.
@@markwalmer6692 yeah. My wife worked for a local police department in evidence. She sees people daily coming up requesting records sealed or expunged. I'm going the pardon clemency route. The application is online and it free to submit....
the police will not seal or expunge anything. they may give you a copy of your record. Sealing does not remove the conviction from the commonwealth computer, a pardon does.
You would think being in prison would be enough. But no lose rights end up with probation conditions end up in and out if jail. Pick up more charges .. circle tightens. I left the stste i was in and out of jail. Mostly drug charges got sober n out of trouble. Should be some hope for people who clean therr lives n dtsy out of trouble. Instead go for pardons which are near impossible. Multiple felonies forget it.
Im 60 and when i was 15 i was busted with a jiont and had a traffic ticket last year and the judge increased the fine based on the marijuana charge 44 years ago and informed me it'll be held against me for life .
@@LaymanGamin Yeah. Juvenile records aren't held against someone unless they were tried as an adult. You typically aren't tried as an adult for having "a joint."
How does it work when the supreme Court said that the court acted with out the authority of the state and the court must void and vacate the sentence. But they don't do it
Man I was convicted of a non violent felony little over 20-25 years ago. Had it expunged or reduced to a Misdemeanor. Moved out of Cali to Colorado 4 years ago. I’m intimidated and clueless on where to go and what to do and who to see 🤦🏽♂️. At times I’m thinking there’s no hope on fully restoring my gun rights
Hey Man. Don't give up. Don't be intimidated. I don't know the laws there. Here is what I believe is important for you. Not in any trouble after 25 year-old conviction. Conviction was not firearms or sex related, or domestic violence. If the conviction was for "hard drugs
@@markwalmer6692 I hope to get it taken care of before more time goes by , I just really need it for my personal self I am not a bad guy sorry I get broken hearted when I think of all I lost so long ago.Thank you for you very nice comment.
I have a aggravated battery and drug charge of small amount like ten dollars witch I didn't have suspended 14 years did treatment and mental health outpatient drug test court every two weeks meetings u name it have several certificates even got off probation a year and a half early judge said it could be expounged but idk what to do it's makeing it impossible for me to get a job even when I have decent work history at decent jobs higher skill level then the jobs I'm applying for my health just isn't what it use to be to keep up with what Iv done for years
@@recorderaser9938 Prosecutor asks all about how your life has been going, job, family, and new charges since last felony and explain and if you have been law abiding they will expunge, the judge in Cheboygan county is very good about expunging peoples stuff, it is very nice to see! Thanks for the video!
Juvenile felonies never expunge themselves. I don't think juvenile records expunge themselves, but not all are reported on a background check - only felonies. All juvenile records are eligible for filing of an expungement petition. Start by contacting the county office and asking them if they still have your records. Then, I can review them.
If you have a criminal misdemeanor aka domestic battery your fucked for life i got a 26yr old domestic (misdemeanor) for a simple slap to my brother i can never be around a firearm
All I see from guys like yourself is a lot of faults hope you tell us something can be done./ But don't tell anyone the key points like is there any avenues . Like Wich lawyer's can or will help. With little to no money.
Actually, all I do is explain the Pardon and Expungement process which DO clear appropriate criminal records. Reasonable fees with payment plans let me keep my doors open while trying to be accessible to those with limited incomes, usually, because of these criminal records. You can evaluate the lawyers who help and those who do not.
Been skeptical is always involved when looking for help with things like this, but using the service of ABCHACKERS , be rest assured of total service delivery
