Criminal Record Expungement

Clearing Criminal Records in Illinois

An arrest or conviction for drug possession, shoplifting or theft was bad enough when you had to deal with embarrassment, probation, fines, and other consequences. Don’t let an arrest or conviction stay on your record and ruin your chances for jobs, loans, scholarships, professional licenses, housing or college admission. An experienced Record Expungement lawyer can explain if you qualify to have your criminal record cleared of past arrests, charges or convictions, as well as help you file a petition to expunge your record and get a fresh start.

Contact the expungement attorneys at Elizer & Meyerson, L.L.C. today to learn how we can help you get your criminal record expunged of past arrests, most misdemeanor convictions, and some felony charges. Through expungement, you can ensure that neighbors, employers, family, and the general public never see your past arrests, charges or convictions.

The Process of Criminal Record Expungement

You may qualify to have your criminal record expunged or sealed if:

•  You were arrested but found not guilty or acquitted
•  You were arrested but never charged with a crime
•  You were found guilty but sentenced to court supervision
•  Your case has other facts that qualify you for expungement

To successfully expunge a criminal record, you must have completed your court supervision without any violations. If you qualify for expungement — also called Expunction or sealing a criminal record — we can help you file a petition to have your criminal record expunged or sealed. Through expungement, an arrest or charge of Underage Possession and Consumption of Alcohol, Drug Possession or Shoplifting virtually disappears and is no longer viewable by potential employers, schools, or licensing agencies.

Our expungement lawyers can explain in a free consultation if you qualify to have a misdemeanor or felony charge expunged or sealed. If your record is sealed or expunged, it will be as though the arrest or conviction never happened. You will no longer have to list the arrest or conviction on a job, loan, college admission or any other application. The public will not be able to see your criminal history, and you will get to start over!
