Done The Time: Ready To Move On
If you have spent time behind bars in the Oklahoma prison system and are looking for a new lease on life, then speaking with a Tahlequah Pardon Attorney may be something to consider. It’s important to note from the start that if your criminal case has not been adjudicated by a court of law and you’ve not been found guilty, then you can’t be pardoned.
In Oklahoma, if you have finished your sentence (including probation) for a felony or misdemeanor, the law allows you to petition the Governor of the state for a pardon. It is a complex process that requires a knowledgeable guide through the process. The legal team at Wirth Law Office – Tahlequah can help you with your questions about your case.
What Does A Pardon Get You?
In Oklahoma, a pardon does not fully clean up your criminal record, that would be an expungement. A pardon instead shows others that you are ready to rejoin the community as a responsible member of society after your sentence. An Oklahoma pardon would allow someone to regain the right to vote in elections, help with trying to get a job, and even the ability to qualify to hold public office. It’s important to note, as well, that an Oklahoma pardon could restore your right to own a gun or even start up a certain business that requires items like a liquor license.
Oklahoma Pardon Process
The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board has established a complex process for those applying for a pardon in the state.
A Tahlequah Pardon Attorney can help you through the complicated process that requires attention to detail. Our team knows where to look for files and records that will be needed for the petition.
