Introduction: Why You Need an Expungement Attorney
A criminal record can create roadblocks in nearly every part of life—jobs, housing, education, even personal relationships. Fortunately, many people qualify for the erasure of past convictions. An expungement attorney can guide you through this process, ensuring your record is cleared and your future opportunities are restored.
What Is Expungement?
Expungement is a legal process that removes or seals criminal records from public view. With the help of an expungement attorney, your past doesn’t have to define you. Once expunged, most employers, landlords, and schools cannot access your criminal history.
