GETTING YOUR CRIMINAL CASE “EXPUNGED” OR RECORD CLEARED...

What is an Expungement?

An expungement is also called a sealing of a criminal record which occurs when a Court grants a individual’s motion to clean his or her record so that a past criminal conviction(s) is no longer on the individual’s record. The expungement process begins when an action is filed with the court where the conviction took place, requesting the court to dismiss, or set aside, the criminal conviction. Most misdemeanors and many felony convictions can be expunged from a person’s record. Serious felonies, in which a person served prison time (not county jail time), can not be expunged. Alternative methods must be used to clean a serious felony from a person’s record.

Since not all criminal convictions can be expunged, it is important you inquire about you case with an attorney experienced in expungements, like attorney Ann Gottesman.

Why Get an Expungement?

Getting your criminal record cleared (“expunged”) is very important for those who are applying for jobs or educational programs that require a background check. There are many employers and schools who will not accept applicants with a criminal record. If your record is successfully expunged, then no criminal history will appear on your record when a background check is done.

How Long Does an Expungement Take?

Expungements for a misdemeanor case will usually take between 2 to 4 weeks from the date the action is filed to be completed. In other words, a person’s record is usually cleared within 2 to 4 weeks from the date the action was filed at the court.

Expungements for felony cases will usually take the same amount of time (2 to 4 weeks) although more time may be needed if research is needed. Many felonies can be reduced to a misdemeanor and then expunged from the individual’s record.
