Q: Got convicted for dv in Nashville tn. My public defender lied to me and told me after 7 yrs I could get gun rights bacK
Now I found out I can’t is there anything I can do to get them back
A: It depends on how long ago you pled guilty. Noone should ever plead guilty to Domestic Violence anywhere. Attacking your plea is probably futile, but you might try it. Maybe Diversion is still an option if the plea is withdrawn. Also within a year, you might try an ineffective assistance of counsel petition. At the least file a Board Complaint. If that lawyer actually lied to you to get you into an easy plea, then you should go after him. Lawyers like that make the rest of us look terrible.
