King Law Group

King Law Group specializes in one specific problem: getting your gun rights back after a criminal conviction in Arkansas. It's not simple, and there are only three legal pathways—this firm knows all of them.

After a felony conviction, you can restore gun rights through:

• •Expungement under the First Offender Act
• •Arkansas Drug Court or Veterans Court expungement
• •Pardon from the Governor

Misdemeanor convictions that stripped gun rights (Domestic Battery, Domestic Assault, or crimes changed from those charges) require a pardon unless you want to challenge the theory in court—not recommended. Get the expungement first to strengthen your pardon application.

Domestic Battery convictions: 5-year waiting period before applying for rights restoration. Everything else: Apply for expungement immediately after conviction.

They handle the federal-state intersection. Arkansas law restoration doesn't automatically mean federal clearance. Under Title 18 USC §921(a)(20)(B), expungements, pardons, or civil rights restoration must specifically allow firearm possession—otherwise, federal law still prohibits it. The firm knows these distinctions.

They work with multiple Arkansas expungement laws depending on your conviction type:

Fort Smith, Van Buren, and Fayetteville, Arkansas.
