  • Even if your charges were dismissed, you may have an arrest record which you may want to expunge.
  • Clearing of certain juvenile and adult criminal arrest and conviction records.

The Expungement process:

To begin the process, you will be asked to:

  • Schedule a free consultation with one of our knowledgeable attorneys.
  • Bring any documentation that you may have regarding any and all arrests. If you don’t have any, that’s ok. We can obtain information.

At the first consultation:

  • Your prior arrest(s) will be discussed and your eligibility for an expungement will be determined.
  • Appointments for follow-up process (e.g. fingerprinting, affidavits, etc.) will be made, if necessary.

The Next Step:

A court must consider at least the following factors when determining the appropriate sentence:

  • Once you retain our services, any necessary records will be obtained based on information provided in your criminal history.
  • A Petition will be prepared for your signature.
  • Your Petition for Expungement, Order for Hearing, and Order for Expungement and the filing fee of $52.50 will be submitted to the Superior Court for filing. Once the Hearing date is received, all necessary parties will be notified. A copy will be forwarded to you.
  • Ordinarily, you will not be required to appear at the hearing date. A copy of the Order for Expungement will be forwarded to you upon receipt. The Order will also be forwarded to the top employment background-check companies to have any records they may be removed.
