Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has granted more pardons than any other governor. Recently he announced that he is not running for office again. So that means he will be out of office in January 2027. There is still time to be considered for a pardon, but the clock is ticking.

Here at Coad Law Office, we have obtained pardons for more than two dozen of our clients. A pardon attorney can help you write an effective pardon application that can give you your best chance in getting a pardon. The first step in the process is to ensure that you obtain certified copies of all of the relevant court documents from your case. That can take some time, and it is critical to get all of the right records so that you can be considered for a pardon.

After obtaining your court records, the application has two big questions that a pardon attorney can help you answer in order to give you your best chance. First, you need a very good reason as to why you need (not want) a pardon. In other words, how would getting a pardon positively impact your life? As you can imagine, the Governor wants to issue pardons that will help people live a better life.

The second big question that requires an effective answer is why have you earned a pardon? With this answer, we help you explain why, since the time of your conviction to date, you have lived a life that is worthy of the Governor granting you a pardon. Any documents, or letters from people who know you well and have seen your growth in life, can help show the Governor’s office that you deserve his consideration for a pardon.

The attorneys at Coad Law Office can help you answer these important questions and present your pardon application in its best light.
