Celebrating today! This week, Governor Polis granted a pardon to my client. This is my first successful pardon application, and comes more than three years after we filed the initial application.

If anyone deserves this relief, it is my client. After being convicted of a low level drug offense in the early 2000s, he turned his life around through rehabilitation, sobriety, hard work, and devotion to his family. I'm so proud of the work he has put in and could not be happier with this result.

Every year around the holidays, we would wait to see if the Governor would consider his application. After more than three years of waiting and continuing to update his application, we finally got the news this week.

It looks like Governor Polis may still be considering additional clemency applications before the end of his term. Pardons can offer meaningful relief that record sealing cannot, including restoration of certain rights lost because of a conviction. In this instance, my client was able to regain all the rights of citizenship, including fi****ms privileges.

Thank you, Governor Polis, for recognizing that people are more than their worst mistake and that the ability to move on from a conviction matters.

The pardons come 3 months after the governor commuted the sentence of former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters.

It's a great honor to be published in this month's issue of Colorado Lawyer!

I'm happy to be able to share my knowledge of Colorado's new automatic record sealing laws, and hopefully this article can serve as a guide for practitioners and pro se petitioners.

Even though I'm no longer hosting clinics, I still love to assist with record sealing. Auto sealing will provide tremendous relief, sealing records without the need to hire an attorney. But there will always be some cases that are tougher or need to happen faster that may need some help.

This article is especially meaningful to me because I worked on it in the wee hours of maternity leave. Some days now feel like I can't quite get a handle on things, and this reminds me I am actually still doing a lot!

After a beautiful summer with my baby daughter, I am now starting to get back from maternity leave. I am so thankful to own my practice and be able to take this incredibly special time to be with her. I never could've had the flexibility without Colorado's Paid Leave Act - where I was able to opt-in to FAMLI leave, even being self-employed.

As the season begins to change, I am now taking record sealing clients - you can book a consultation through my website at amoffittlaw.com/book. I'm also leaning in to my personal injury practice - representing clients who have been injured in a car accident. And I am slowly getting back to the courtroom and taking criminal cases. Feel free to reach out to me at [email protected]!

Kicking off the holiday weekend with a huge win for my private record sealing client! 🎉

This afternoon, we went to hearing in Arapahoe County to seal a nearly 20-year-old DUI conviction — something that’s rarely granted. DUIs typically aren’t eligible for record sealing unless the DA doesn’t object or we meet a significantly higher legal standard.

Ultimately, I was able to get the DA on board. The Judge even asked multiple times if that was really the DA’s position because she had never seen Arapahoe County agree to seal a DUI conviction before.

There’s a first time for everything. 🙌 So proud to help my client and help them to move on from this record!

**Exciting Update from A. Moffitt Law**

I am now licensed to practice law in the State of Iowa! This is exciting for me, having grown up in West Des Moines and attended University of Iowa for both undergrad and law school.

In 2015, I moved to Colorado and passed the Colorado Bar Exam. I quickly started at the Colorado Public Defender’s office, and have been practicing criminal law and specializing in record sealing ever since.

After 10 years of practicing in Colorado, I was able to waive into the Iowa Bar upon motion.

I don’t have plans to move back to Iowa, but I’m there often enough visiting friends and family In Des Moines. I’m excited to open up this new realm of possibilities.

I plan to expand my record sealing/expungement services back to my home state. Iowa has a lot less that is eligible to be sealed than in Colorado, but there are still pathways. I’m hoping this can help some of my fellow Iowa Hawkeyes who may have gotten wrapped up in the law enforcement complex of Iowa City. If you’re interested in learning more about what is eligible to be expunged in Iowa, check out my latest blog below!

Saturday's Expunge Colorado Record Sealing clinic was a huge success! It takes a few days for me to get everything organized afterwards and ready to file. But now I can reflect on the amazing day we had.

Attorneys, DU students and general volunteers came together to help our community move forward from their past criminal records. We were all there with the common goal and understanding that no one should be defined by their past. With that focus in mind, the volunteers worked enthusiastically to make a difference. The day was energizing, hopeful and inspiring - and organized better than ever I will say!

After 7 years of clinics, it's truly amazing to see what we can do when we come together. My hope is that the opportunities we opened up Saturday will create ripple effects throughout the community for years to come.

Thank you to all who came & helped and have supported us through the years!

🔔IN THE NEWS🔔

I was interviewed in Colorado Sun’s front page article on automatic record sealing.

“This is a huge deal,” said Abbey Moffitt, a criminal defense attorney and co-founder of Expunge Colorado, a nonprofit that helps people seal their records. “It allows people to move on, to have that redemption and restore their dignity, remove the stigma and contribute to society again.”

5 years ago today, I started A. Moffitt Law. It was a dream I dove into and I'm so glad I did. The flexibility in work schedule and ownership of the cases I take ensure that I'm energized to keep the work going.

I'm proud of my work in all three practice areas: record sealing, criminal defense, and plaintiff personal injury. I've become an industry leader in record sealing, obtained six-figure settlements in PI cases, and zealously advocated for my criminal defense clients - obtaining dismissals at a satisfying rate. My firm allows me to really focus on my clients and help them through their most trying times. Here's to another 5 years!
