Expungement and Record Sealing
Clearing or sealing past arrests and convictions, so an old record stops standing in the way of work, housing and licences.
Overview
A criminal record can follow you long after a case is over. It can come up in background checks for jobs, housing and professional licences, even when the charges were dropped or the sentence was completed years ago.
We review your record, explain whether it can be expunged or sealed under the framework in San Andreas, and handle the petition from start to finish. That includes obtaining the court and police records, preparing the filing and representing you at any hearing.
Not every record qualifies, and the rules depend on the offence, the outcome of the case and the time that has passed. We give you a straight answer about your prospects before you commit to anything.
