A communtation of sentence needs to come from the Governor - and the process begins with the Florida Parole Commission. Keep in mind, a Commutation of Sentence may adjust an applicant's penalty to one less severe but does not restore any civil rights, and it does not restore the authority to own, possess, or use firearms - this is not a pardon or clemency. You also can get those via the Governor's office and process also begins with the Parole Commission

Best to you in this matter,
A commutation of sentence is usually sought while someone is still incarcerated to reduce a sentence, such as life without parole so that they can be eligible for parole or a death sentence to life without parole. Or a 70 year sentence commuted to 40 so they can be eligible for a parole hearing while still alive.
A pardon is sought once out of prison and will restore civil rights if a full pardon is granted.
None of these processess happen overnight. They involve an application/petition to be filed with the Parole Commission and then an investigation into the person's crime, background, etc. There is usually a list and it could take up to 1.5 years to even get an investigation going. And, of course, there are no guarantees that a commutation or pardon would be granted. But well worth the effort on the chance it would be.
