Can I get off the sex-offender registry in Oregon?

In some cases, yes. Oregon has a process for seeking relief from registration, and eligibility depends on the offense and the time that has passed. It's worth asking whether you qualify.

What is a clemency petition?

A request asking the Governor to commute a sentence or grant a pardon.

Can I restore my right to own a firearm?

Sometimes. Depending on the conviction, there may be a path to restore firearm rights in Oregon.

What if there's new evidence that I'm innocent?

Depending on the case, that's usually raised through post-conviction relief or a clemency petition. If a conviction has already been reversed, there's a separate petition for compensation under ORS 30.657.

Do you handle these statewide?

Parole Board, registration, and clemency matters are statewide — they aren't tied to a location. Appeals from DMV, stalking-order, and municipal-court decisions depend on where the case was decided, so reach out and I'll tell you whether it's one I can take.

THE WORK

Restoring rights, seeking relief

Getting off a registry, regaining firearm rights, asking for clemency, Parole Board hearings, appealing a DMV or municipal-court decision — many of these turn on strict procedures and deadlines. Parole, clemency, and registration matters I handle statewide. They're often overlooked, and they can change a person's life long after the original case is closed.
