Governor’s Pardon – California Penal Code 4800 et seq

Orange County Felony Defense Lawyer

A granting of a Certificate of Rehabilitation is an automatic recommendation and application to Governor of California for a Pardon.

To be eligible for a Governor’s Pardon, you must have been convicted of a felony or certain misdemeanor sex offenses.  Normally, you must wait 10 years from completing your prison sentence, completing probation, or completing parole.

The common route to a governor’s pardon will be to apply for a certificate of rehabilitation first.  However, it is possible to apply for a Governor’s pardon directly without having to get a certificate of rehabilitation.

Obtaining a Governor’s pardon restores certain rights if you were convicted of a felony.

If you were convicted of a felony and are looking to clean your criminal record, consult with an experienced Orange County felony defense attorney.  At the Law Offices of Nam Q.
