  • Kelly Negotiates Favorable Resolution for Her Client in Vehicle Forfeiture

    Charge(s): 

    Kelly Keegan’s client had his vehicle seized and subject to forfeiture as a result of a Gross Misdemeanor Second Degree Driving While Impaired charge. Through negotiations with the prosecutor and the police, Kelly was able to have her client’s vehicle returned though buying it back for half the value, avoiding a drawn-out court fight in order to get her client’s vehicle back into his hands as quickly as possible so that his family would have transportation.

    • Outcome: Forfeited Property Returned
  • Kelly Restores Client’s Gun Rights So He Can Inherit Heirloom Firearms and Teach His Daughter to Hunt

    Charge(s): 

    When Kelly’s client was 19 he was convicted of Aiding and Abetting Felony First Degree Burglary in Hennepin County for entering a man’s home without permission so his brother and brother’s friends could assault the man.  As a result of this conviction, he was subject to a lifetime firearms prohibition. Kelly was able to demonstrate her client was not the main actor, and her client’s subsequent successes and rehabilitation were presented to the judge to show this was an isolated incident in an otherwise good and successful life. The judge agreed, restoring his rights so that he can take his daughter hunting, inherit his father’s guns, and attend hunting outings with friends and colleagues.

  • Kelly Successfully Removes IFFS Firearm Flag So Client Can Purchase Gun

    Charge(s): 

    Kelly’s client came to her mystified as to why he was being denied or put on delay when trying to purchase a gun. After considering the various possibilities, Kelly determined that his Bureau of Criminal Apprehension record was incorrect, namely that it contained an Identification for Firearm Sales (IFFS) Flag indicating he was subject to a lifetime firearm prohibition, when in fact he had only been prohibited for 10 years and that prohibition had expired, requiring removal of the flag. Kelly notified the BCA of their mistake and provided them with court documentation to support her arguments. The BCA agreed and removed the IFFS Flag, meaning that her client can now purchase firearms without being delayed or having his purchase denied.

  • Gun Rights Restored for Client Adjudicated Delinquent of Setting Fire to a Squad Car

    Charge(s): 

    When Kelly Keegan’s client was 17 he set fire to a Dakota Sheriff squad car with two friends and was subsequently adjudicated delinquent (the juvenile version of a conviction) of Aiding and Abetting Felony Second Degree Arson, leading to a lifetime ban on possessing firearms. Her client went on to be successful in life, regretting what he’d done and doing his best to put it behind him. As an avid outdoorsman and owner of a small hobby farm, he wanted to be able to protect his animals from harm, so he came to Kelly to restore his right to possess firearms. Kelly convincingly argued her client was rehabilitated and the judge agreed, restoring her client’s rights so he could be a whole citizen with the same rights and privileges as others.

  • Kelly Restores Gun Rights Following Stabbing at Nightclub

    Charge(s): 

    Kelly Keegan’s client was convicted of Felony Second Degree Assault in Ramsey County in 2004 for an incident in a bar in which he stabbed another man, leading to a lifetime prohibition on possessing firearms. He retained Kelly once he realized his loss of rights was affecting his life plans as well as the rights of his loved ones. Despite vigorous opposition from the prosecutor, Kelly successfully argued her client had rehabilitated so that her client may now fulfill his dreams, including living together with his girlfriend, who possesses a firearm, and attending wilderness church camps.
