Why would I want my record sealed or expunged?
When you have a criminal record sealed or expunged, the Court orders the Clerk of Court and the law enforcement agency to take that criminal case out of its public database. Once a record is sealed or expunged, you should no longer show up on the online clerk’s screen or online inmate screens. Your arrest should not show up on criminal background checks. You are given the lawful authority to state that you have never been arrested or charged with a criminal offense before, even though you have, unless one of the exceptions above apply (i.e. applying to become a schoolteacher, applying to become a lawyer, etc). This could mean the difference between obtaining and not obtaining a job, or even an apartment.

If my record is sealed or expunged, will it be taken off the internet?
Not necessarily. An order to seal or expunge is an order to the clerk’s office and to the law enforcement agency to seal or expunge the records under their control. It is not an order affecting private companies or individuals. So, unfortunately, in today’s world, where information is often floating on the internet and impossible to erase, your arrest history may still be on some websites or in some criminal history databases of private companies, even after your record is sealed or expunged. If you find that is the case, you may be able to write to that company with a copy of your order to seal and expunge, and request that they remove your information.
What if I was convicted of a crime?
If you have ever been convicted of any crime before, no matter how minor, you are not eligible to have your record sealed or expunged. A conviction is an adjudication of guilty, as opposed to a withhold of adjudication or nol pros. If you aren’t sure if you were adjudicated guilty, you can call us and we’ll take a look. Or you can go to the Clerk’s website and search for the disposition in your case. A “WH” is short for withhold of adjudication. An “AG” is short for Adjudication of Guilty.
