ACSOL Survey: Was your California Governor’s pardon application or tiered registry petition denied after you paid an attorney to file it?

R H

ASCOL wants to hear from registrants in California who have paid or considered paying attorneys for:

  • Application for a gubernatorial (Governor’s) pardon;
  • Petition for termination from the sex offender registry when you are assigned to Tier 3 or otherwise ineligible for removal; or
  • Evaluating your eligibility for a pardon application or tiered registry petition when you are assigned to Tier 3 or otherwise ineligible for removal. 

It appears that California attorneys sometimes advertise and/or charge large amounts for these services when there is little or no chance for success.  ACSOL wants to explore ways to protect California registrants from these practices.  If you are impacted, please email service@all4consolaws.org and explain how.  Email responses are confidential.

I have considered this quite extensively and even my divorce attorney told me to do it, as I would be a good candidate to not be required to register. I know would be a long shot, simply because of politics. But I am also well versed (or so I think so) in the law and don’t currently see how any money would grant me relief from these requirements besides a governors pardon. So, yes, I have considered this extensively and originally thought I would be place in tier 2. Then the unfortunate news of tier 3 came. It was highly disappointing and unjust in my opinion. So here I am, stuck for now…as a lifer.

We were eligible to apply for a COR after 7 years (Indecent Exposure), and that opportunity was missed by a few weeks sine SB384 came into effect and he was placed in Tier 3. Since a COR is no longer available, is a Pardon still possible?

I tried to get a pardon or reduced when I got a lawyer and when I went to court I got ignored and told that he couldn’t do anything about it so I lost my money and wast of time

Perhaps a YouTube channel titled: Attorneys behaving badly?
But what to do about a pilot? Perhaps the California bar Association can make a recommendation. I wager I know who they’d nominate for the pilot.
