Re: criminal record

Well, you've got quite a background and story; pardons are rare. A criminal attorney should be able to help locate what you need, and represent you in court. I do it frequently. Feel free to contact me if serious about doing so.

Re: criminal record

Should the pardon be available, you are in good shape with court most likely. If it is not, I can still help you get the information you need to the state contractors board, and have done so with large clients in the past.

Should one of my clients allow it, you can discuss the matter with him at your leisure.
