Making every effort to clear your record been charge with a crime is very important for your future. Without expungement, the record of your encounter with the justice system can impede many of your life's goals:
- If you plan on a career working with children or the elder, a criminal record can be an obstacle.
- A healthcare profession may be closed to you after a conviction.
- Any potential employer or landlord who conducts a background check may find cause to put you lower on the list of potential employees or renters if you have any kind of criminal record.
- A career in the military or a career in law enforcement may not be an option once you have a criminal record.
If your case was dropped or dismissed and you were not declared guilty, you can petition a judge to have all records of the charges wiped out. If your case was not dropped but a judge withheld adjudication, you can petition to get your records sealed once you met the conditions — such as a year with no further arrests.
Even if you deserve to have your criminal records expunged, sealed or cleared, a judge may ask you to state a compelling reason why this action should be taken. There is no substitute for the counsel and representation of an experienced, proven-effective criminal defense attorney when you are seeking to wipe your record clean.
