Re: Felony Conviction

You need a lawyer to look at you record and make sure you are cleared. Juvenile ecords don't always automatically seal. If you were convicted as an adult yo cannot vote or possess a firearm until you seal your record and restore your civil rights. Please contact my office for assistance 561-659-9410
