What does expunging a record do?

A criminal conviction is permanently erased when a record is expunged. If you were convicted of a crime but have since had your record expunged, even the physical records of your conviction are destroyed. Subject to a few narrow exceptions, you are allowed to say you were not arrested, charged or accused of committing a crime.

Eligibility for expungement

Certain circumstances must exist in order for your case to even be considered for expungement. Grounds to have a conviction expunged vary on a state-by-state and case-by-case basis. Many states have waiting period requirements that say you cannot petition for an expungement until a certain period of time has passed, and others will only expunge a first offense from your record. Contact our office to discuss the circumstances surrounding your unique case.

Pave the way to a brighter future

Do not let a lapse in judgment or wrong act have a negative impact on your future health and happiness. Instead, contact The Hanna Firm to discuss having your record expunged.
