Does anyone know how to get past records sealed?
Buddy wants to start aquiring firearms but had a "domestic" charge against his brother which wasn't the one who pressed charges. Happened some years ago not positive when if that matters. Any help appreciated thanks |

If I understand the process correctly basically you hire a lawyer that specializes in that area of law and basically make your case before a judge. All it does is seal the record but not to law enforcement. Not sure how that would play out with a firearms purchase or permit. Being charged vs. convicted also plays into all of it.

| One can always attempt to navigate the legal system on their own with no training or education. A buddy of mine looked at expungement for something stupid he did years ago. Prevented him from getting a job even though it happened 30 years ago and he never was convicted. He said a lawyer told him it would be about 8-9K to make the attempt and no guarantees. He just found a different job that paid more in the end. |

Im not of much help, but I can say this- the guy in Texas ? who shot that guy that was attacking the police officer saving the cops life -
the "hero" was previously a felon who got his conviction expunged, and even had a concealed carry permit. So it can be done. I have a cousin who wanted to do it but didnt have the money or the time. |

I don't think anybody would want to do all that work or spend all that money for less than say a 40% shot. Thanks for the story, I'll have to look it up. |

Send me a private message with your phone number. I can help you out with an expungement. I'm an Attorney. 8 to 9 grand is very high for a domestic. Thanks will do. I'll have to see if he wants to go lawyer route or try on his own. How very high is $8-9k? |
