  • Kelly Expunges Client’s Drug Case and Restores Her Gun Rights

    Charge(s): 

    Kelly Keegan’s client came to her to expunge a drug possession conviction from St. Louis County and also to restore her gun rights, since she was subject to a lifetime prohibition as a result of the conviction. Her client’s life had changed a great deal since the conviction – she had moved on from bad relationships, maintained sobriety, married and had kids. Yet she was still facing the effects of the convictions long after, including not being able to go hunting with her family, facing rejections of employment, and not being able to volunteer for Girl Scouts and other activities her children were involved with. Kelly convinced the judge to grant both motions. As a result, her client is now free of the burden of the past conviction and can once again hunt with her family, apply for jobs without fear of rejection, and participate in her kids’ activities.

  • Truck Driver Has His Rights Restored So He Can Hunt With His Friends and Co-Workers

    Charge(s): 

    Kelly’s client had a difficult childhood and was convicted of Felony Fifth Degree Possession of Marijuana in Dakota County when he was twenty years old. Through hard work and perseverance he got ahead in life and remained law abiding, obtaining his CDL, and became employed in responsible jobs driving big trucks. He wanted to hunt with his friends and colleagues, so at the age of 38 he applied for a permit to carry from the county sheriff and was denied, learning that after all these years the drug possession charge still prohibited him from possessing firearms. He hired Kelly, who convinced the judge her client had reformed and was deserving of having his gun rights restored. The judge granted Kelly’s client’s restoration so that now he may go hunting and to the shooting range with his friends.

  • Client Goes to Gun Range on the Same Day Kelly Restores his Rights

    Charge(s): 

    Kelly’s client suffered a lifetime loss of his gun rights when the law changed from a ten year prohibition after being convicted of a Fifth Degree Marijuana Possession charge in Ramsey County. This lifetime loss of rights hit her client hard, as he had always been an avid outdoorsman, hunting with his family at their cabin and going to the gun range with friends and family to practice. He also stood to inherit his great-grandfather’s Winchester rifle. Kelly convinced the judge that her client had rehabilitated. Her client was overjoyed, going to the gun range with friends for the first time in many years on the very day the court issued the judge’s order restoring his rights.

  • Kelly Expunges Records of Client Convicted of Disorderly Conduct

    Charge(s): 

    Kelly’s client was the victim in a long-term abusive marriage. When she finally decided to stand up for herself and fight back, her husband was able to turn the tables on her when police arrived by telling police she had assaulted him. She was arrested and charged with domestic assault in Ramsey County. She pled guilty the next morning at her bail hearing and was convicted of disorderly conduct. Thankfully, the incident helped Kelly’s client gain the courage to finally leave her husband. Eventually, she retained Kelly to help finally put the incident behind her. Kelly was able to successfully demonstrate the elements of her client’s situation in court and document the abuse that she suffered. The judge not only granted the expungement so that Kelly’s client can finally put the incident and her abusive marriage behind her, but the judge also made a finding that her client was situated to that of a victim, affording her the legal status of being restored to the status she held prior to the arrest.
