If you were charged CRIMINALLY with DUI you MAY be able to have your CRIMINAL record expunged,
However, as a part of your drivers license history it will always appear on your driving record. Your drivers record is a lifelong compendium of your driving history and the DUI will remain so the courts will be able to refer to it in order to know know how to treat you if you become a repeat offender for this offense.
It has been over 15 years since my felony dwi. How do I get my rights back?
Youll have to be more specific. What 'rights' you are referring to? What are the ages of the children? Who has primary custody of them while you are (presumably) in prison?
Depends. Serving time does not matter, the conviction does. If you were convicted of a felony violation of Federal law, there is no realistic way to have firearm rights restored. If you were convicted of a violation of state law, there may be. You will need to consult an attorney- process varies state to state.
Well, it all depends on your situation. If you've convicted of something which is a felony only at state level, and NOT a federal felony, it MIGHT be possible to have your gun rights restored. You need the services of a lawyer, and there is no guarantee. If your felony conviction was a federal felony, your chances are more or less nil. If you've been convicted of a crime of domestic violence or something drug related - whether felony or misdemeanor - that further reduces your chances of being able to have your gun rights restored. Again, you need the services of a lawyer here, who can be privy to the exact details of your situation, and can make a determination as to the feasibility of trying to have your gun rights restored.

A felon can sometimes get some rights back, but you should check with an attorney familiar with the process to see if you can.
If you're expecting to get gun rights back after a felony conviction, don't hold your breath. In some shall-issue states, it is possible for a convicted felon to get a concealed carry permit. However, it's still a felony for them to own, possess, or be in a situation where they have access to firearms, and the CCW doesn't negate that.
I don't see why not. If you want him back.
Maybe. Contact the PA department of corrections to find out the procedure and guidelines to apply for restoration of rights.
No
please .
Yes, only the court system of the state that convicted you has the power.
