If you have been convicted of a crime, you may have the option to have your record expunged. This means that the conviction will not appear on most background checks and can help you in many ways, such as increasing your job opportunities or helping you to obtain certain licenses. To get started, however, you will need to hire an experienced expungement lawyer who can help guide you through the process.
The Expungement Process
The first step is for your expungement lawyer to review your criminal history and determine if you are eligible for expungement. Each state has its own laws and regulations about what types of crimes are eligible for expungement and under what circumstances. Your lawyer will be able to explain these laws and regulations to you so that you understand exactly what is involved in getting an expungement.
Once your eligibility has been established, your lawyer will then prepare the necessary paperwork, draft letters to the court, and contact any individuals or organizations that need to be notified of the proceedings. This includes the district attorney’s office, local law enforcement agencies, and employers who conducted background checks at any point during your case.
Your lawyer will also provide advice throughout the entire process by answering any questions that arise due to new developments or changes in circumstances. They can also provide advice about how best to handle potential issues or problems before they become a problem down the line. Additionally, if there are any issues with getting an expungement approved by the court or other agencies, your lawyer can work with them on behalf of their client until a resolution is reached.
