Pardon Attorney in Fresno

About Pardons in Fresno

What is a pardon and how does it differ from an expungement?  A Governor's pardon is given to certain individuals who had been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor.  It is awarded to individuals who have shown that they are now abiding citizens of the law and have continued to show excellent behavior.  A pardon differs from expungement in the fact that one would still need to declare the crime that was pardoned to an employer or on a background check.  Once a pardon is issued, the individual would regain his rights as a citizen with some exceptions (depending on the type of crime that was committed). 

Being able to have a criminal conviction put behind you can relieve you of the burdens you have suffered through earlier misadventures or errors in judgment and allow you to feel a part of the community once again. 

What Should I Do to Get a Pardon?

The task of obtaining a pardon is a difficult one.  You would need a Fresno criminal defense attorney to expertly handle your case.  The Law Offices of Nuttall Coleman & Wilson have the resources to help you through the process.  The first step is to obtain a Certification of Rehabilitation showing that you have been rehabilitated.  If for some reason you do not qualify for Certification, you can still petition the Governor's office directly.  In either case you would need a criminal defense lawyer that would persist through the different guidelines and restrictions.   Not all attorneys have the desire to help those who badly want to be pardoned; the research and presentation could be extensive.  The legal team at the firm has the skill and experience needed in such an endeavor.

The process is complex and requires an attorney that has the experience and knowledge to seek a pardon and draft all pertinent documents correctly to increase the chances of success.  Contact the firm to discuss the case and determine how to best move forward in seeking a pardon.
