If you have been charged or convicted of a crime, then it’s likely that that mark on your criminal record has begun to impact your life. These effects can impact numerous parts of your day-to-day life; mainly, your opportunities of employment. This article will outline the basic principles of obtaining an expungement or expunction.
A legal expungement is a process in which a criminal record is destroyed or sealed from the record. After a charge or arrest is expunged, you are no longer required to disclose the expunged crime to any other legal entities.
The first step is to confirm that you are eligible for an expungement. The requirements for eligibility for an expungement vary by state. If your charges have been remanded, non-adjudicated, otherwise dismissed or resolved you are likely entitled to an expungement. If you have been convicted or found guilty of a crime, you might also be eligible for an expungement after a set period of time. Our attorneys can determine whether or not you are eligible for an expungement under the applicable law.
The next step will be to file a petition with the court. Treadway Law Firm is experienced in working with client’s to have their record expunged quickly and efficiently. Treadway Law Firm has been helping families navigate this process for over 30 years.
