Q
How do I expunge my criminal record?
Firstly, you must get a complete history of your criminal record. Secondly, it may be worth it to have a live scan done to ensure that everything that might come up is located. Then, a motion or application for expungement should be prepared on each case that is eligible for expungement. A determination of what case(s) might be eligible for expungement should be done by an attorney. Then, the motion or application should be filed in the proper court for review to determine if the expungement will be granted. This process often takes a few months so if time is of the essence, it is important to plan ahead. If you have questions on whether your case is eligible for an expungement, please contact the Law Offices of Antonio R. Garcia!
