Looking for a little legal advise. or opinions.

i posted on here a while back to find a way to get relief from firearms disability due to a juvenile record in florida when i was 11. to all those with helpful advise i thank you ahead of time. those with any negative please move on.

i found a lawyer that can go about doing the "relief from firearms disability" for a good price. the snag i ran into is its been 9 years and 6105 subsection D2 says that 10 years must past from last conviction. is there any way around that? 6105 subsection d1 says

"The conviction has been vacated under circumstances where all appeals have been exhausted or where the right to
appeal has expired."

what that means to me is that if i have exhausted every other possibility (which i have) that i am exempt from the 10 year rule. since i cant expunge it nor get a pardon in the state of florida. thats what i am taking in from reading it. i know whats another year. its a life time for me. if i can get this done and over with i can get into the police academy for my act 120 and become a local police officer. i have my AAS in CJ graduated with a 3.48 gpa. so i am not a hoodlum or criminal. im trying to get somewhere in life. and right now i just need a little help getting there. so please if you have any good advise or suggestions let me know. and please refrain from any negativity. as to i am not here for that. just looking for a little assistance.

Thank you all,
Matt

If your lawyer can't interpret that for you, maybe you need a different lawyer.

If you were adjudicated delinquent I think it is 15 years or the age of 30, which ever happens first.

hah!

We would need to know what the crime was and what the adjudication was.

18 Pa.C.S. § 6105: Persons not to possess, use, manufacture, control, sell or transfer firearms

(c) Other persons.--In addition to any person who has been convicted of any offense listed under subsection (b), the following persons shall be subject to the prohibition of subsection (a):
(8) A person who was adjudicated delinquent by a court pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S. § 6341 or under any equivalent Federal statute or statute of any other state as a result of conduct which if committed by an adult would constitute an offense enumerated in subsection (b) with the exception of those crimes set forth in paragraph (7). This prohibition shall terminate 15 years after the last applicable delinquent adjudication or upon the person reaching the age of 30, whichever is earlier.

Arguing with yourself now?

Well... I guess I won't be asking you for any T3s.

With few exceptions, 11 year old kids don't have convictions, they have "adjudications of delinquency". Maybe it's different in Florida. But it sounds like your prohibition is under 6105 (c)(7) or (8). (It doesn't help that the statute uses the word "conviction" repeatedly to include juvenile adjudications. Poor drafting.)

The section you quote, d(1), applies only to convictions that have been vacated (the defendant's conviction was reversed by an appellate court) and the time for the DA to appeal has expired, so the reversal is final. It doesn't apply to convictions that are final, or to adjudications of delinquency that have not been reversed.

Florida statute 985.35(6) or 985.045(4) states that it is not a conviction nor can impose civil disabilities nor can anyone use it as such. Im looking for a way around the 10 year wait. Its been 9 years but another year seems forever.

That is correct!!
