Currently working as a practicing attorney for Michael Kennedy McIntyre & Associates in Atlanta, Georgia, Michael Kennedy McIntyre practices law specifically in the area of post-conviction representation. Michael Kennedy McIntyre started his own practice over 20 years ago and works closely with the Georgia Parole Board, assisting clients with parole issues such as receiving pardons and restoration of rights.

The Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles includes several programs that can help parolees after their release, including programs that help with restoration of rights and receiving pardons. Parolees can seek the restoration of rights, such as the right to serve on a jury or to run for public office.

Parolees also have the right to petition to receive a pardon which states that the crime has been pardoned by the State of Georgia. Having the assistance of an attorney in pursuing pardons and restorations of rights can help make the process easier.
