Pardons

• You must not be on parole, probation or another form of supervised release.
• If you seek a pardon for a misdemeanor conviction, at least three years must have elapsed from the date of your conviction.
• If you seek to erase a felony conviction, at least five years must have elapsed from the date of your conviction.

Individuals may apply for a provisional pardon any time after their conviction, including individuals currently on supervised release.

Should You Apply for a Full or Provisional Pardon?

There are two key differences between full and provisional pardons that are important to understand:

1. Full pardon: A full pardon will completely erase your criminal record. .
2. Provisional pardon: A provisional pardon will not erase your criminal history and is used primarily for employment purposes. When a provisional pardon is issued, it serves to notify employers or licensing agencies that you cannot be denied employment or professional licensure due to your conviction. You may apply for a provisional pardon any time after a conviction.

Our attorneys will help you determine which pardon is right for your situation. If you were recently convicted of a crime and are seeking employment, then a provisional pardon could be right for you. We will provide an honest assessment of your situation so you can make the best decision possible for your future.
