Attempting to obtain an expungement means asking the court to seal your court record (see also: What is Expungement?). If you have an adult or juvenile conviction, it is possible that you can get it expunged. It must be noted, however, that an expungement is not guaranteed. In order to receive an expungement, certain criteria must be met.

A criminal record can be extremely damaging. Many people seeking expungement legal assistance have had trouble securing a job, a home or a specific license because they have a criminal record.

This means that you will not have to worry about landlords and employers finding out about your criminal history and your record will disappear from the Internet. The record of your arrest will become confidential.
