WE CAN GET YOU ALL THE FORMS TO HELP CLEAR YOUR RECORD

 To “Expunge” is to “erase or remove completely.” In law, “expungement” is the process by which a record of criminal conviction is destroyed or sealed from state or federal record. An expungement order directs the court to treat the criminal conviction as if it had never occurred, essentially removing it from a defendant’s criminal record as well as, ideally, the public record. 

 In practical terms, ‘Sealing’ is the placement of a criminal record under court-ordered protection, which bars public disclosure of or access to the record.  Information and documents related to the incident remain on file with the criminal justice agency, but the record is confidential.
