If life in my marriage was as easy as it was working with the Hazzard Law team than I would not only still be married, but I’d be the happiest husband in the world. They fight for you and have the passion that lets you relax knowing that they will never stop. Hopefully I don’t need a lawyer again, but if I do than you know where I’m going.

Frequently Asked Questions

In Birmingham, Alabama, individuals may seek absolute pardons (also known as full pardons), which restore civil and political rights, or conditional pardons, which come with specific requirements.

Pardons for juvenile offenses and pardons restoring firearm rights may also be options, depending on your situation and goals.

We can explore your options during your free case evaluation.

A pardon lawyer can significantly enhance your chances of being granted a pardon in Birmingham. An experienced pardon attorney’s knowledge of the complex legal process, combined with an ability to draft compelling petitions and present your case to the pardoning authority can greatly improve your likelihood of success.

In Alabama, absolute pardon eligibility requires completing all sentences, probation, and parole — or have served at least three years on parole for the conviction in question. Applicants must have no pending felony charges, and demonstrate good conduct and rehabilitation.

The Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles reviews each case individually, considering various factors before granting a pardon.

To apply for a pardon in Birmingham, Alabama, individuals usually need to provide a completed application form, criminal records, court documents, personal statements, and character references. The Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles may also require additional documentation based on the specific case.

Our attorneys at The Hazzard Law Firm, LLC can guide you regarding your pardon application and additional documentation following your free case evaluation.

It is often easier to pursue pardons for drug offenses and non-violent crimes, as compared to seeking a pardon for conviction of a violent crime. Non-violent offenses, including certain drug-related crimes, are often eligible for expedited restoration of voting rights and other civil rights. Violent crimes, such as murder or sexual offenses, require a full pardon application and are not eligible for expedited processes.

The distinction reflects the state’s focus on public safety and the severity of the offense. The Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles considers the severity of the crime and its impact on victims. Violent crimes face stricter scrutiny, and victims are notified and allowed to provide input during the pardon process.
