Clearing the Way for Your Future
Having a criminal record can make it very difficult for a person to live a normal life. A conviction on even one serious offense can create a permanent criminal record that can hinder your ability to get a job and apply for certain licenses. The law allows people who may have made some mistakes in their past to clean up their criminal records through a process called expungement.
The end result of an expungement is, essentially, that the offense disappears. The record is sealed and, when employers and most other concerned parties run a criminal background check on you, the offense will not appear in the information they receive. In addition, you will be able to truthfully answer "No" on any application or other form that asks whether you have been convicted of a crime.
