Can't Say Enough
Very professional. Very open and friendly. Provided me with his cell phone so if I had questions I could contact him anytime. At first I wasn't sure with Jerry because he was in the Bay Area and I am in the valley. Didn't know if he would take my case. However, after speaking with him on the phone I knew I found the right attorney. He explained the entire process, what would be needed and what to expect. Seldom did I have any surprises. We gathered information and statements. Jerry put everything together and setup the first court hearing. He was successful in helping me get my 1203.4 (Dismissal). Next we moved on to the Certificate of Rehabilitation. He appeared with me at my interview and several continuations waiting for the DA to finish their report. The day finally came on November 18. My COR was submitted and approved by the judge. With that I was also cleared from the 290 Registration List. It was a long process, but well worth it. I would highly recommend Mr. Mullins to anyone looking for an expert in clearing your record. He is highly knowledgeable, helpful and has your best interests in mind. Thank you Mr. Mullins

So you want a Governor's Pardon
In 2000 I was convicted of a very serious felony drug charge. I was 20 years old. I came from a good home, graduated high school early and made great achievements in sports. I started to hang out with the wrong crowd, which eventually led me to be in a horrible drug charged relationship. I got my life back together, graduated college and went back into sports. However, everywhere I went this felony affected my life. It was hard to get a good job. Interviewers were interested in me, but as soon as they found out I had a felony I could see it in their eyes and body language…disappointment. I continually felt guilt and shame throughout my life, when all I was trying to do is be a better person. Then I met Mr. Mullins; he was confident in the fact that even though I had a serious drug charge it would be possible for me to have my full rights back. My journey was not easy, I had to put my heart and soul on paper and discuss what I did, and who I have become. We went through all the steps of receiving a Certification of Rehabilitation and then submitting that for a Governor’s pardon. Mr. Mullins knew all the steps that needed to be taken, and how it needed to be presented. He has a system of how things should be done and presented, and with his guidance and hard work I was granted a full and unconditional Governor’s Pardon within a year and a half’s time from start to finish. Most people wait YEARS to receive a pardon! Mr. Mullins will get you through this tough journey with patience and understanding. I am so happy that I found him and that I have my life back. I am like Pinocchio; I am a real person again. I have my rights back, I have my life back and most importantly I feel whole!

Jerome Mullins, he’s the best!
I have been so privileged having Jerome Mullins as my attorney, I was fortunate enough to get a referral from several other attorneys to him and he has been 100% positive and helpful since our first meeting. He knows exactly what he’s doing and has a good plan on how to get there, he doesn’t beat around the bush. He lets you know exactly what the possible outcomes could look like and give you a good understanding of what he can do for you… I would highly recommend him to anyone. “He is the best Criminal Lawyer around, hands down” (in my opinion) Jerome is straightforward, honest and diligent… I had five court cases, and we got them all expunged and got a certificate of rehabilitation. He has been honest with me from the beginning, and he has delivered on everything he thought it was possible, and I am completely pleased. Honestly, you could not ask for more than you’ll get from this attorney, I have had him call me on a weekend evening to give me a status updates and you won’t get that from everyone believe me. Jerome Mullins is the attorney you want!

Truly Exceptional!
I hired Jerry for a record clearing matter, and he so far exceeded my wildest hopes, I was blown away. He's a total rock star! He explained everything to me with the greatest patience, and wrote a memo so brilliant that when we appeared before the court, the judge granted everything we'd asked for and MORE, and didn't even need to talk to me. Wow!!

So you want a "Presidential Pardon"
So you want a “Presidential Pardon” I did and commissioned Jerome P. Mullins. It’s a long process, years in the making. Followed his instructions to a “T” and after a long four year Pardon Application process, on December 19th, 2016, I was granted a Presidential Pardon. Mr. Mullins expertise in this matter was indeed the contributing factor in obtaining my Presidential Pardon.
