QUESTION
Can I have the criminal mischief misdemeanor removed from my record?
Asked on Dec 21st, 2012 on Criminal Law - New Jersey
More details to this question:
I had a case about 17 years between me and my kids mother at the time. I was instructed by a family member just to plead guilty and be done with it. I was 18 at the time and now I am 36. I am a Real Estate Agent and a District Manager for the local papers, which deals with the public. I had a pistol permit because I explained to the deputy what had a happen and because of my line of work I fear for my safety at times. That’s the only thing on my record. They denied my renewal of my pistol permit because of the new domestic violence law.

There is nothing that can be done about the old case unless the governor were to grant you a pardon which is highly unlikely (and very, very expensive to pursue.) You cannot have a CHL because of the case.

In Michigan you would be eligible to get the matter expunged.

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation.

Yes. Contact an attorney to help you petition the court for an expungement.

You will have to have the conviction set aside or expunged, and that should possible. Engage an attorney.

You can have the conviction expunged. I do not understand what the domestic violence law has to do with your having a gun. You do not state that you were found to have committed an act of domestic violence. Secondly, if you were, you should be able to have any lasting restraining order vacated.
