If you are concerned about your prior criminal record and are ready to do something about it Keating and Lyden, LLC can help.

Certain convictions that resulted in forfeiture of constitutional rights, such as 2nd Amendment firearm rights and voting rights, may be restored by the court that originally restricted them. We understand each case is different and the guidelines for protecting your name and restoring your background require professional training and expertise.
