Just Got My Opposition Letter from the DOJ. Now what?

[Tezz500]

I received my Opposition letter in the Mail today.

Its states that my Driving Record and my Criminal History are the Reasons the DOJ is opposing my Application.

I haven't had a Driving Violation in over 3 years.
My "Criminal Record" consists of:

12/2007:
Rabies Inoculation for Dogs.
Dog License.
8/2005
Criminal Contempt- Disobedience to Process Injunction / Mandate

I have some Nolle Pros Charges that came about from the Divorce back in 05' Nothing Violent and the Charges were obviously Dropped.

Any Insight? I have made some inquiries with several Lawyers but I would like someone thats gonna get the job done on this one.

What were your driving violations before 3 years ago?

[Clarence]

I suspect the domestics might be the main issue.  9 years ago might sway the judge.  Not really sure if having a lawyer helps. 

I only have 2nd hand knowledge of a person who was denied and it was for domestic issues. No convictions but it was only three years and the judge told him to come back in a year or so. 

They do look at driving record as well.  Looking for irresponsibility I think rather than an isolated ticket. 

Hope it works out. Welcome to " May issue".

Congratulations on your persistence.  Carry safe. 

[Adrenolin]

Congratulations for sticking with it! Many would have caved at the $1000 legal retainer on top of the CCDW requirement costs. That's one month longer than it took us. Stay safe!

[Clarence]

Congratulations!  Thanks so much for providing information on the process.  I'm sure this will help others. 
Carry safe!!!

[Tezz500]

anytime. feel free to message me for any info that i can help out with.

As for caving, Yea... Not my style.

Congratulations and you are certainly a "hang in there guy." It is a @@@@ shame that this process cost you so much. Safe carry and be careful out there.
