Expungement attorneys take care of expunging your personal criminal records. They research whether you are eligible and if they think that you have a case. They can then offer advice and proceed with your case.

An expungement attorney is used to petion the courts to expunge a criminal charge from public records. Not all states and/or crimes are eligable for expungement.

In the case of an expungement, an attorney is there to make sure the expungement process is done correctly so that your paperwork is not rejected and has to be done all over again. Additionally, if a district attorney objects to the expungement, the attorney deals with those objections and will argue the case in court if necessary.

How can you do an expungement without paying an attorney?

Using an attorney is not required by any court. Expungement of a criminal record is a criminal proceeding. The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution, applied to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment, grants the right of self-representation in all criminal matters. However, the process of expunging a record, which varies by state, can be complex and confusing. In some states, it is just a matter of filing the required paperwork. In other states, it requires filing paperwork, collecting evidence, and arguing for expungement in front of a judge and against the arguments of a district attorney. So while you do not have to use an attorney, it may be wise to do so in some cases. If you wish to do it without an attorney, start by calling the court and asking if they have forms or petitions for expungement. Be aware that the word expungement has different meanings in different states. What is called expungement in California may be called record sealing, vacating, or setting aside a judgment in your state. If the court cannot provide the necessary paperwork, try calling your county's public defender or legal aid society. If that does not work, try calling your county's bar association and ask them if any lawyers do pro bono (free) expungement service. Most counties have a law library that also could provide information. If you have convictions in more than one state, make sure you research the expungement law of the other state or states prior to proceeding; filing in the wrong order may cost you eligibility in one of the states. Only attorneys are allowed to charge for legal advice, so be very cautious with dealing with anyone, especially over the internet, who charges for assistance.


Can a 10 yr old restraining order record be removed by expungement?

The process for expungement varies by jurisdiction, but generally speaking, restraining orders are not typically eligible for expungement as they are civil matters rather than criminal convictions. However, it is best to consult with an attorney who specializes in expungement laws in your specific jurisdiction to determine if any options are available.
