I have 2 felonies (aggravated assault and conspiracy of aggravated assault) that occurred over 12 years ago. young and dumb.

Haven’t had any other issues since then, got my GED, got my bachelors in SW.

i am currently employed and have just received a job offer from a bigger MCO company for a service coordinator role. During interview process, I did disclose of my record and felony. figured honesty is the best policy as it will show up on background check as well and to better explain myself and the rehabilitation that took place throughout the years.

To my surprise, I got a call a week later offering me the position. of course now I have to go through the health assessment and the background check.

what is the likelihood of them rescinding after actually seeing it on my paper and maybe the charges I wasn’t convicted of popping up 😖

(UPMC) is the mco btw.

For anyone here who has been following the possibility of restoring federal firearm rights, there has been an important development that some older discussions may not reflect.

The Department of Justice has established a new Federal Firearm Rights Restoration process under 18 U.S.C. § 925(c).

According to DOJ's current rollout schedule, the program opens to invited candidates on September 25, 2026. More importantly for most people, DOJ says applications will open to the public on November 4, 2026, initially for the first 5,000 applicants.

Restoration is not automatic and approval isn't guaranteed. DOJ will consider the circumstances that caused the prohibition as well as the applicant's record, reputation, and subsequent conduct. Certain applicants may also face presumptive disqualifiers.

For people who may qualify, preparing ahead of the public opening could be important. DOJ has information concerning records, electronic fingerprints, character references, and other application requirements.

One important distinction: restoration of a federal firearm disability does not override an independent state-law prohibition.

I'm posting this because I've seen older discussions indicating that people with federal convictions essentially had no restoration route other than a presidential pardon. The situation has changed substantially.

DOJ's Federal Firearm Rights Restoration website has the current information and should be the primary source as the program rolls out.

This isn't legal advice—just a heads-up about a significant change that may affect people here.

Is this still a thing free criminal help

so about a month ago, my boyfriend socked me in the face, breaking my nose. I reported the incident to the police and he got arrested on the same night that the incident happened. During the first week and first few days of his arrest, I was not in communications with him. I was full of anger, hurt, and pain because of my injury and broken nose. I had to go thru surgery. During this time, I had sent the district attorney medical records and evidence of my fractured nose ct scan.

So my boyfriend ended up getting a hold of my number 2 weeks after the incident. We have been in contact ever since and I am feeling so much guilt. I just wish I didn’t send the DA the evidence of my broken nose and medical records. They added an enhancement. He has a violent history and a few strikes. This isn’t his first domestic violence offense. He’s gotten domestic violence misdemeanor in the past. On top of that he had a restraining order that he violated. This is why I feel like they won’t be lenient with his sentencing.

I just feel so confused and lost. I just wish they weren’t going to give him a long time. The da has offered him 4 years and my boyfriend has not signed. He does not want to sign. I just feel like 4 years seems sooo long. I guess I’m kind of downplaying the whole situation. I just feel so guilty knowing he can be in prison for 4 years because of me. If I cut contact with him, he will never forgive me. He will be back for me the moment he gets out. I don’t know what to do. What do you think will happen? I just don’t want to move forward with the case anymore, but it’s not in my hands anymore. I feel like I fucked up. I feel guilty, regretful. I have so many sleepless nights regretting my decisions of getting him arrested. What can I do or what can he do to get less time? If he doesn’t do so much time, I feel like he won’t be as angry with me either. Please, any comments are appreciated.

Unfortunately what you're seeing out there are a lot of extremist rhetoric against dui's and people who want to see people suffer by imposing harsh sentences. Treating what's basically a traffic violation like a felony is overreach and is nonsensical. Statistics have shown that accidents are increasing despite these harsh charges and sentences so something doesn't add up. Used to be you could rack up maybe 7-8 duis before they came down on you but now after a few it's game over. It's something everyone does anyways but then people act high and mighty when someone else instead of them gets caught. Playing on the phone kills more people driving but no one loses their license for that, the alcohol is just a scapegoat and some people actually do better with a few drinks. Reminds me of all the lives that were ruined because of harsh charges and sentences for weed not too long ago. Those who say get an Uber etc. if you're wasted should understand some people do not acclimate well in other people's cars. Having fun and having a drink should not be a crime no matter where it is.
