Q: What state would I need to hire a lawyer to have firearm rights restored if I was convicted in nc but moved to fl?
Conviction was non violent, I compleated my probation in nc and then moved to Florida. I'm not sure if I would need to hire a Florida lawyer or a nc lawyer to have 2nd amendment rights restored.
A:
You're assuming you must hire a lawyer, which is not necessarily the case, but a lawyer could do the "homework" and communications for you, saving you time. As to where you need to initiate the process, it's likely in the State where you were convicted. Read the entire page at: https://www.fcor.state.fl.us/clemencyOverview.shtml
Therefore, if you feel you need a lawyer, start with consultation(s) with lawyer(s) in the area where you had your criminal case.
