Our parole revocation attorneys can help your loved one avoid returning to prison if they are facing a revocation hearing. Although the hearing is not taking place in a court room, the parolee is still entitled to a lawyer.

As a result, having an experienced parole revocation attorney is very important. Besides just trying to attack the allegations, there are a number of different issues that the defense lawyer must handle. This is a lot to these revocation hearings and the attorney must know how to incorporate all of them. Even if an offender is found to have violated parole, a good criminal defense lawyer can help the client avoid returning to prison.

Will gun permit be denied due to PTI or conditional discharge?
Will gun permit be denied due to PTI or conditional discharge?
In New Jersey PTI (pre trial intervention) and a conditional discharge are great ways to avoid a conviction. At the end of these programs, the case is completely dismissed. However, the arrest and dismissal will still appear on your record. As a result, the police will see it. The law allows them to consider these offenses as if they occurred even though you were not convicted. In fact, the State Police will often view these programs as convictions for whatever reasons (at least in my experience). Thus, if you just apply for a gun permit in New Jersey and you have either of these things on your record, you may be denied.
Luckily, we can help you. Our gun permit lawyers can file for an expungement. This will erase this arrest and dismissal from your record. As a result, nothing will come up. You will once again have a clean record. We will then represent you for the gun permit to make sure that goes smoothly. When our lawyers handle these matters as a package like this for you, we can save you a ton of money. Call us today to discuss your expungement and gun permit matter for free with one of our New Jersey lawyers.

New Jersey Gun Permit Appeal Lawyers
New Jersey Gun Permit Appeal Lawyers
If you have been denied a gun permit in New Jersey, you have to file for an appeal. Often times, the police will verbally inform you that you have been denied. However, they have to send you a formal denial letter at some point. You then have 30 days from then to file an appeal. All of this information should be located in the letter itself. What most people don’t understand is that an appeal is actually a trial. Thus, to try to do this by yourself might be extremely difficult. In fact, these gun permit appeals are often difficult for experienced attorneys like us. The State will often fight hard against the appeal and we need to do everything we can to ensure that we win.

Apply for a gun permit in New Jersey with mental health issues (question 26)
Applying for a gun permit in New Jersey with mental health issues (question 26)
As a New Jersey gun permit attorney, I get more questions about this issue than I do any other issue when it comes to gun permit applications. Even though the application is rather straightforward, question 26 confuses a lot of people. First, this question has nothing to do with whether or not you have been confined in a mental institution. It simply asks if you have been treated, attended or observed by any doctor for any mental health issue. Second, the question isn’t whether or not they will find out about it. I’m actually shocked that people say that to me. Submitting a false application is a felony. Would you steal a car if you thought you could get away with it? Would you steal $50,000 from someone if they didn’t know it was you? Would you sell drugs to someone if no one would know? Well if you said no to these last three questions than why would you ever think of trying to get one over on the police? To you, these three examples might seem like apples and oranges but they are all felonies in New Jersey. So don’t worry about getting caught, especially when it is so easy to avoid.
Our team of gun rights lawyers in New Jersey can help you deal with your mental health issues so that it does not become a problem for your gun permit application. Call us to discuss your matter for free.
