How Expungement Works

A criminal record can hinder opportunities for employment and housing, can keep you from joining the Armed Forces, and may even appear on your credit report. However, past arrests and criminal convictions do not necessarily have to shadow your life indefinitely. You may be able to obtain a clean criminal record and pursue opportunities previously denied you.
