Restoration of Gun Rights

A constitutional right Attorney Peter Carlton served to protect.

Criminal convictions and involuntary commitments can lead to the loss of a defendant's right to possess a gun.

The right to own and carry a firearm is a right guaranteed by the United States Constitution, a right that Attorney Peter Carlton fought for in the United States Marines. If you have been barred from purchasing and owning a firearm, Carlton, Hayes & Peddicord can help you pursue restoration of your civil liberties.

How we can help

  • Firearm restrictions after a conviction
  • Restrictions following involuntary commitment
  • Reviewing eligibility for restoration
