Expungement Can Clear Your Criminal Record
Expungement is a big word for a simple idea. The idea is that your criminal record is erased. It is wiped clean, or destroyed, as though the arrest never happened.
There are many good reasons to get your record sealed or expunged. A clean record can help you get a job, keep a job, qualify for a promotion or pass the background check to rent an apartment.
The Law Office of Michael Finn is dedicated to criminal defense in Chicago and the surrounding communities. As a criminal defense lawyer, I have helped many people clear their criminal records and move on with their lives.
Does Your Record Qualify for Expungement?
The Illinois State Police Department has clear guidelines about what types of records are able to be expunged:
- You can expunge a misdemeanor or felony charge if you were found not guilty.
- You can expunge a misdemeanor or felony charge if Illinois dismissed the charges.
- A misdemeanor conviction can be expunged if supervision was the sentence.
When you contact me I will be happy let you know if your record qualifies for expungement. Call an experienced attorney today.
If your record cannot be expunged, I may be able to get it sealed. When you seal a criminal record, it is hidden from current and potential employers.
