EXPUNGEMENT

Sometimes, dismissal of criminal charges is not enough to allow you to move forward in life with a clean slate. In this situation, you need an experienced attorney to represent you in having your criminal record expunged.

Expungement in Alabama

Prior arrests or convictions due to a past criminal charge are embarrassing, but they can also prevent you from reaching your goals in life. Criminal histories can prevent you from obtaining employment, attending college, renting a home, or even receiving certain types of financial help.

Alabama recently expanded their expungement laws. These laws allow qualifying criminal charges and convictions to be cleared from public records so that these past mistakes cannot come back and impact your future. Once expunged, these records do not show up on routine background checks, and are considered by the court and police to have never happened.

When your record is expunged, you do not have to disclose any expunged convictions or charges on credit, employment, college, or other types of applications, giving you a fresh start to tackle your future.
