Criminal expungement is a process which treats your criminal records as though they no longer exist. Although all states differ on the specific rules, all of them have some form of expungement in place. Expungement applies to all records on file with any court, detention, or correctional facility. Expungement also extends to law enforcement or criminal justice agencies that processed your arrest, detention, or trial.
Criminal expungement helps people who have committed a crime at some point in time get rid of their record and move on with their lives. Expungement helps make it easier to get a job, borrow money, adopt a child, or just give you peace of mind.
