FAQ: I was held on a 72 hour hold pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 5150, how do I get my rights back?

If you were held on a 72 hour hold pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 5150 because you were deemed a danger to yourself or others, you have lost your right to possess firearms for a period of 5 years. Those rights will automatically be restored after the five year period has expired. However, you may restore your right to possess firearms prior to the expiration of the 5 year period. At The Davis Law Firm, we have streamlined procedures that have been used throughout Southern California to successfully restore individuals rights. Though there is no guarantee of outcome, our methods of approaching restoration of rights taken pursuant to a 5150 have proven successful. While an individual can pursue restoration on their own, we highly advise against it – as you only have one chance to get it right. Failure means you will have to wait out the entire five year prohibition period. We offer flat rate programs so that you know exactly how much the process will cost prior to retaining us. Don’t go another day without your rights . . . call us!
