Listen regular expungement will remove it from the public side of things most private business will not have access to it and it removes it from most all run of the mill background checks. However some things are ineligible to be expunged and usually deal with violent convictions. Did you have this expunged? Criminal charges even not followed up with valid convictions can show up in background checks unless properly dismissed or expunged from the record.
Police, military and law enforcement can still see the record sometimes. If it is truly expunged then they can not see what it was for unless it just happens to be the jurisdiction where the crimes occurred.
Just wanted to follow up on this forum. I am currently employed with the state. I have been here for a little over a year and very grateful. My next goal is to try and get a pardon to try and get my gun rights back I have talked with lawyers and they tell me that i have no chance of getting a pardon how ever I disagree with them, I have to stay positive and keep striving towards my goal. I did file for a pardon 2 years ago and it got denied. I am eligible to reapply now. I do have all paperwork in order. I just need some assistance with the reason why I am filing. I am not good with words nor grammar. Is there anyone on the site that is willing to help me I would sure appreciate it. Any feedback thanks.

No one on this forum can write this for you, however AI is a great go to Chat GPT and type or input via scan your original letter. Or ask Chat GPT the following: put your name address identification information into interface and tell it to make you a request for pardon letter. It will ask you a few questions and then spit one out. This is FREE unless you pay for a subscription; however, I will tell you that if the same governor is in office for when you sent in your first request then your chances of being successful are low.
Your best bet would be the use of a lawyer of course but you have already been that route. If it was me, I would send in a letter once a year to the new governor or maybe once a month. Who knows they could get tired you mailing them a pardon letter and finally just sign it to get rid of you.
Persistence pays off just like Shawshank Redemption- Good Luck with it
Thanks for the info

IMO, that's not a good idea for two reasons.
First, large language model (LLM) AI programs like Chat GPT aren't great for writing truly original letters, especially when it won't have much material to work with. NM, and most other states (maybe all of them), treat pardon petitions as confidential and are not released to the public. Thus, there aren't going to be pardon petitions from NM online for Chat GPT to draw upon.
When these AI programs don't have enough to draw upon they do one of two things. One of those is what they should do; they should simply tell the user that it can't provide what the user is asking for. The other is that they reach for things that match some of the words in the question and use that to write answers are far off the mark. That's what you don't want. As impressive as the technology is, AI programs aren't actually very smart. They don't do a great job yet of recognizing when material is false or misleading; distinguishing between good writing and poor writing, and importantly in this instance they won't know what makes a good pardon petition.
Second, each petition is unique as the facts of each petitioner's crime(s) and what the petitioner has done after serving his/her sentence are different. Thus, you'd be feeding the program information that you may not want exposed to the public. Once you put that information out on the internet you lose control of who will see it. AI programs are not yet regulated as regards to privacy issues. These programs add what users put into the chat frame to the information they use to build up the data resources available to it. That means that personal details you provide the program may well find its way on to the internet. Most people seeking pardons do not want those details out in the public where anyone may find them.
That's not what I'd recommend to the OP. It wouldn't benefit him to do that because the state has a specific process for seeking pardons and one part of that process is limiting how often you may submit petition for a pardon. Those limits are there for the very purpose of preventing people from doing what you suggest. Sending one petition after another when it's too soon under the rules of the pardon process won't get the pardon granted. What it may do instead is put your name in the minds of the staff that screens the petitions, and not in a good way. Pardons are completely at the governor's discretion and it doesn't help to start off with the staff having a negative view of you.
In most states an actual pardon is hard to get. For that reason, when you submit that petition it needs to be as compelling as possible and AI programs won't give you that. Though it's not cheap, it better by far to get the help of an attorney to guide you through the process. There are legal aid programs out there that help people with problems like this but who can't afford to hire an attorney.

we agree on one thing, he really needs to hire an attorney. If you want to use one of the free options then contact your local law schools. They will typically have free law clinics legal services which you could take advantage of.
Thanks I appreciate everyone's feedback
