Getting a Maryland Pardon
I need to get a pardon because 14 years ago I was a dumb 20 yr old kid that got nailed with Transportation of a firearm in Montgomery County Maryland. (not a felony, non-violent, non-sexual, no victims) I was given 18mos probation which I didn't complete successfully (DUMB KID). In the past 12 years since I was released from probation I have not been arresseted which means no convictions. And now this conviction has come back to haunt me. It is preventing me from getting a job, a really good one. I have found that I can't get it expunged with out getting a pardon. Is this going to be something that I need an attorney for? Is this a common everyday sort of thing?
