A criminal record can follow you for life, affecting your job prospects, housing opportunities, and personal relationships. However, you may have the option to clear your record through expungement or sealing. We help individuals get a fresh start by guiding them through the complex process of clearing their criminal history.
What Is Expungement?
Expungement is a legal process that permanently removes a criminal conviction from your record. Once an expungement is granted, it’s as if the incident never happened. This means potential employers, landlords, and the public will no longer see the conviction in background checks. In most cases, you can legally state that you were never convicted of the offense. However, not all offenses are eligible for expungement, and requirements vary by state. Our experienced attorneys will help you determine if you qualify and guide you through every step of the process.
What Is Record Sealing?
Record sealing differs from expungement in that the record still exists but is hidden from public view. Law enforcement and certain government agencies may still access sealed records, but they won’t appear in standard background checks. Sealing is often used for cases that were dismissed, for juvenile offenses, or for convictions that don’t qualify for expungement. We can help you understand the benefits of record sealing and whether it’s the right option for your situation.
Why Clear Your Record?
A criminal record can create significant barriers in life. It can prevent you from getting a job, renting a home, or obtaining professional licenses. It may also affect your immigration status, child custody rights, and eligibility for financial aid. By expunging or sealing your record, you can move forward without the shadow of a past mistake holding you back.
