Strategic Pardon
Consulting Services
From initial consultation to Board hearing preparation — we provide the expert guidance and strategic organization your pardon application needs.
The Connecticut Board of Pardons and Paroles receives nearly 2,000 applications every year, and many are denied due to incomplete submissions, missing documents, or weak narratives. Our comprehensive preparation ensures your application stands out.
We provide full support throughout the entire process — from initial eligibility review through final submission — ensuring all forms are correctly completed, all documents are gathered, and your story is strategically presented.
The Board considers your entire story — not just the crime. Your personal statement is often the most critical part of your application. We help you craft a compelling, authentic narrative that showcases your rehabilitation journey.
We also guide you on how to secure strong reference letters from employers, community leaders, mentors, and others who can speak to the positive changes in your life.
Our founder Corey Brinson brings unique expertise from 20+ years in the criminal justice system and hundreds of successful cases before the Connecticut Board of Pardons and Paroles. This experience translates into precise, tailored strategy for your case.
If your application is selected for a hearing, preparation is everything. We help you understand the process, anticipate questions, and present yourself with confidence and authenticity.
We prepare applications for multiple types of record relief in Connecticut and at the federal level.
The gold standard. An Absolute Pardon results in the complete erasure of your criminal record in Connecticut. It's as if your convictions never occurred — clearing the way for employment, housing, licensing, gun permits, and more.
A Certificate of Employability doesn't erase your record, but it removes key barriers to employment and makes it illegal for employers to deny you based on your criminal history alone. Available with a shorter eligibility timeline.
For federal convictions, we prepare strategic clemency petitions for presidential review. Federal pardons restore civil rights, remove disqualifications from public benefits, and can lift federal firearms restrictions.
