If you have been arrested or charged with a crime, you may ask: “How difficult is it to clear my record?” The laws relating to expungement are highly variable between jurisdictions and different states have different requirements that need to be met before an expungement can be granted. Expunging a record is much more complicated than typing “how to expunge my record” into your internet search engine. It’s definitely a good idea to contact an experienced expungement attorney who can advise you about the requirements needed to get your prior charge or conviction expunged, taking into account local rules and the facts of your case. Failure to follow the process properly can cause needless delays or worse including denial of expungement due to procedural errors. Additionally, it is smart to have an experienced attorney review the circumstances of your case to determine whether expungement is the best option for you at this time. In some cases, post-conviction relief under the rules of criminal procedure or executive clemency may be more appropriate than expungement. Getting an expungement lawyer can increase your odds of success and expungement representation is typically more affordable than you may think.
