Kelly Restores Her Client’s Gun Rights by Correcting Client’s Sentence

Kelly’s client came to her not knowing where to turn after being denied a permit to purchase due to a disorderly conduct conviction on his record from 2010 in Anoka County. After talking with her client, reviewing court records, transcripts of his plea hearing, and police reports, Kelly determined that the denial was caused by an imprecise conviction statute that could be fixed by specifying a particular subdivision and clause. Kelly persuaded the prosecutor to agree to the change, obtained court approval for fixing her client’s case records, and ensured that all agencies updated their files, with the result that her client’s right to possess and own firearms was restored.
