Michigan Pardons & Commutations Lawyer
Why Pursue a Pardon or Commutation?
A criminal conviction can create barriers that are difficult to overcome, such as:
- Job Challenges: Many employers hesitate to hire individuals with a criminal record.
- Loss of Rights: Felony convictions often strip away voting rights, firearm ownership, and eligibility for professional licenses.
- Social Stigma: The shadow of a conviction can impact your reputation and personal relationships.
By securing a pardon or commutation, you can take a crucial step toward reclaiming your rights and rebuilding your life. At Coontz Law, our Michigan criminal defense lawyer witnessed the transformative impact these legal remedies can have on our clients’ futures.
How We Defend Your Case
Eligibility Assessment
We’ll assess your case to ensure you meet Michigan’s requirements, which consider the type of conviction, time since sentencing, and evidence of rehabilitation.
Crafting a Standout Application
A compelling application is essential. We’ll help you gather documents like letters of recommendation, employment history, and proof of community involvement to demonstrate your growth and remorse.
Submission and Review
Applications are submitted to the governor via the Michigan Department of Corrections. The Parole Board evaluates your case and may recommend it to the governor for final consideration.
Hearing Preparation
If the Parole Board requires a hearing, we’ll ensure you’re fully prepared to present your case with confidence.
Governor’s Decision
The governor has the final say. Our goal is to position your case as compelling and deserving of a favorable outcome.
