How Are Record Sealing And Expungement Different?
Some people use the terms record sealing and expungement interchangeably, but the two mean different things. Record sealing means the arrest record is no longer available to the public. Certain government agencies, however, may still be able to access the sealed record.
An expungement essentially removes the arrest from your record. The only way that law enforcement may be able to view the criminal record is with a court order. This allows you to move forward with a clean slate, both professionally and personally.
Understanding Expungement Eligibility
The specific rules surrounding expungement are complex. It is important to consult with an attorney who will review your case to determine whether expungement is an option.
Typically, an individual can only have a single record expunged or sealed once. Additionally, certain crimes, including sex crimes, drug trafficking, and most violent crimes, cannot be expunged.
Every expungement case is different, which means that every individual needs to speak with a skilled lawyer who will thoughtfully analyze your situation. We will take the time to learn about your case to determine whether you may qualify for an expunction or have your records sealed. If you are eligible, we will work with you to file the necessary documentation and help you move forward in a positive direction from a criminal record.
