Expunging Criminal Charges From Your Record
An expungement is not available for every defense, an alternative would be probation or having your charges dismissed.
You do not have to plead guilty to request an expungement. You will have to wait months or years after your conviction until you are eligible for expungement. The term is shorter for misdemeanors, longer for felonies and unavailable for certain crimes.
When it comes to your defense, we are dedicated to helping you with your plans for a better future. Expunging charges from your record is a complicated matter that may prevent discrimination when you apply for a job or an apartment.
Your expungement will only be visible to the law unless you are applying for a professional license as a doctor or a nurse. Discuss your case with a lawyer to determine the best options for your case.
