Question
I was wondering if it hard to do the paperwork for getting a Pardon on Convictions I received from 1989-1994;the worst of which being possession of cocaine a felony.

Answer
Holly,

Each state has different requirements for an expungement which is what i belive you are asking about.  Do a quick check on the Internet for your state and expungement laws and it should give you an idea what is necessary.  For example if you have two convictions in Michigan there is no expungement.  It may be necessary to contact an attorney.

Good luck
