Q: I was charged with felony DUI in 2001, in MS. Is there NE chance I would be able to get my rights back, to hunt & vote?
I was charged in the state of MS, felony DUI. I’m a resident of FL. I was told I would need to go thru MS for this. I’ve been in No trouble whatsoever since this, and as a result of this dui, I haven’t had even a single sip of any alcohol either. This is coming up on 20 years ago that this took place. I heard in MS its almost impossible to get your rights restored, unlike in FL. Will I be required to hire an attorney? Will it have to be in the same county, (Attala County) or would any attorney in the state of MS be able to do this? What all would this entail if I wanted to try to do it on my own? Thank u so much for any help or information given!
A: You will need to hire an attorney for this. The petition will need to be filed in Attala County because that is where you caught the charge. Any attorney in the state can handle this for you.
