I recently had to renew my CPL and received a letter from the county clerk stating that my CLP was being revoked and the renewal was being denied. This was from something that happened 15 years ago. (2004) I got my original CPL in 2009 renew the first time in 2014 with no issues. The reason for revocation/denial was for a felony charge/conviction from 2004, which is incorrect. My criminal background report CBR say misdemeanor. I had to contact the court that had the records and inform them their records were incorrect, that was an extremely pleasant experience. Get everything straightened out. Take all this to the county clerk and explain I would like to file an appeal for the revocation and denial and am told that I have to have a lawyer to do so. I guess I am looking for anyone that has had a similar situation and what hoops were jumped through to get their CLP back.
