The Ohio Legislature has made some important and beneficial moves recently. Among these are two improvements that may help a lot of people.
The first expands the ability to gain expungements. Until recently, an old conviction from years ago could not be sealed is another even minor incident also occurred. For instance, if a 40-year-old man were to seek the sealing of his record from a 20-year-old drug possession case, having been drug free for years, a simple parahpernalia charge (having rolling papers) on another day would bar that sealing of the record forever. Now, Ohio law allows two (2) convictions. I am already starting to help people seal their records, and no longer be turned away from jobs, using this law.
The second allows people to seek restoration of their Second Amendment right to bear arms. It seems rather silly to bar a man from ever hunting with his son simply because he in 1970-something smoked marijuana or stole over $500 while shoplifting. People learn from their mistakes. Good people have for years been frustrated in this, but Ohio now authorizes petitioning a judge and asking that sins from the past be forgiven, with the right to bear arms restored. And, judges are doing this.
If either of these new laws would help you, give me a call!
