Your Criminal Record Doesn’t Have To Follow You
Long after the event, an arrest or conviction can continue to haunt you. A mark on your record can limit your career options. A potential employer may think twice about hiring you. An arrest or conviction serves as an embarrassing reminder of something you put behind you long ago. In many cases, people are able to clear their records by obtaining an expunction, approval of a petition for nondisclosure for juvenile crimes or sealing of a juvenile record.

How We Help Our Clients
We can review your case and discuss your legal options. Depending on the specific circumstances of your case, these may include:
- Expunction: Results in the complete physical destruction of the police record and other court documents. Available only in cases where there was no charge filed, the charge was dismissed or there was a not guilty verdict. Expunction is sometimes referred to as expungement in other states.
- Petition for nondisclosure: Available in most cases where there was a deferred adjudication. It prohibits the authorities from releasing any information about your case to people outside the justice system.
- Sealing of a juvenile record: As the name implies, this prevents the disclosure of any information about your case to people outside the justice system.
These options are not available in all cases.
