Gun Rights Restored for Client with Burglary Conviction

Kelly’s client was convicted of Aiding and Abetting Second Degree Burglary over twenty-five years prior. While on probation, he was convicted of Felony Fifth Degree Possession of a Controlled Substance. Both convictions were during a period of the client’s life when he was addicted to methamphetamine. Years later, the client was a family man with his own business and wanted to move on from these offenses. Kelly filed a petition in Washington County, and met strong objections from the County Attorney’s Office. Despite their objections, Kelly was able to present a convincing case, and ultimately the judge restored the client’s gun rights.
