How do you apply for a pardon from the governor of Michigan?

Answer 1

Request a state pardon application in writing to Clemency Investigator, New Jersey State Parole Board, P.O. Box 862, Trenton, New Jersey 08625.

Completed applications must be signed and acknowledged by a notary public.

Answer 2

You call the Maryland Governors office and speak with an aide, they will send you a packet with the paperwork to file. Make sure you provide every detail requested so you can expedite the process.

Answer 3

Generally pardons are very heavily lobbied for by powerful interests within the state so your chances are slim at best that your governor would ever hear your case.

Governors are also generally very conservative about how they hand out pardons because if the person commits another crime then the governor is held responsible by the people and it could ruin their political career. Thats alot to risk just to give a pardon. Honestly, the people who really need a pardon usually never get them because if they were powerful enough to lobby a governor to get one then they probably don't need a pardon that bad to begin with.

Answer 4

Normally, it's not the Governor to whom you petition for a pardon: it's usually a clemency board or a pardons board of that state, which will collect the necessary information and recommend to the Governor for or against a pardon. Each state has its own procedures by which this is done. They normally have a website that you can look up with instructions to begin the process. Generally there is no charge for this.

Answer 5

Write to the Governor. Have your lawyer write.
