Kelly Expunges Domestic Assault Conviction So Client Can Be Rehired

Kelly’s client was convicted of Domestic Assault – Fear in Mille Lacs County in 2003 after he grabbed his keys from his girlfriend while drunk during an argument. The conviction didn’t affect her client for many years as he had stable, long-term employment. However, in 2019, he left that employer to start his own business. While his business is successful, he hoped to fill in some downtime with occasional contract work for his former employer. However, they said they were unable to re-hire him as a result of the assault conviction, which they discovered pursuant to the re-hire process. Kelly convinced the judge that her client had rehabilitated, granting the expungement. Kelly’s client can now freely pursue job opportunities without the concern this offense will be discovered on a background check.
