Many of my arrests were traffic related and I’ve never been charged with a felony.

The reason for denial was “you have been convicted and/or arrested for a criminal offense misdemeanor conviction within five years from date of interview and/or two or more misdemeanor and/or a felony conviction. Applicant fails to meet strict standards.”

Should I request for reconsideration or is it a lost cause?

Would it be worth it to contact an attorney?

I want to appeal or apply for reconsideration but I want to give myself the best odds.
