Kelly Keegan Restores Client’s Gun Rights by Correcting Domestic Assault Conviction

After first obtaining an expungement for work reasons, Kelly’s client approached her to restore his gun rights so he could take his grandkids hunting. When he approached Kelly, he knew he was prohibited because he had been denied a permit to purchase, but he wasn’t sure why or what to do about it. After reviewing court records, Kelly determined that he was prohibited due to an imprecise conviction statute for a 1998 domestic assault in Hennepin County involving his stepson. Kelly persuaded the prosecutor to agree to the change, obtained court approval for fixing her client’s records, and ensured that all agencies updated their files. Her client may now purchase and possess firearms without delays for the first time in over twenty years so that he can take his grandkids hunting.
