A new free online service that helps people apply for pardons is now available. ApplyForPardon.com was designed by attorneys to give people free guidance and help them print professional looking pardon applications.
“ApplyForPardon.com makes it easy for people to complete their pardon application and get free or discounted legal advice from attorneys,” said attorney Mathew K. Higbee, who was among the team of lawyers and technology professionals who produced the site.
“Once a person creates their free online account, all they need to do is follow simple instructions, answer questions about their record and life, and then preview and print their pardon application. ApplyForPardon.com makes it extraordinarily easy,” said Higbee.
The site is currently serving only California, but hopes to add Florida, Arizona and federal offenses by the end of December and then Georgia, New York and Pennsylvania in January of 2011. *** Update 12/13/2010: Florida has been added ***
The site’s other features include:
– A forum where users can post questions about their case and have it answered by attorneys.
– Special offers on background checks from BackgroundChecks.com
– Strategic documents designed to help a person increase their chances of having their request for a pardon granted.
Those who use the service will also receive free tips from attorneys on how to maximize their chances of success and on how to make sure their records are updated and removed from private and public databases. For those who wish to hire an attorney after using the service, discounted representation will be available.
The development of the site and advertising budget to promote ApplyForPardon.com are being donated by private contributions.
