Expungement Information

People with qualifying arrests and convictions may petition the court of their sentencing county to expunge or seal their records. We can answer your questions regarding eligibility for expungement and sealing. We also have an information packet explaining the process and requirements for expunging/sealing of records. To contact us with questions, or to request a copy of the information packet, you may email, call or write us.
