If you have been arrested a
criminal record was created in your name. Many people believe
that if their case was dismissed or were never convicted they do
not have a criminal record. Unfortunately this is not the
case!
A criminal record or rap
sheet, is a compilation of an individual's identification,
arrest, conviction (law), incarceration, legal status, sex
offender registration, warrant information, and other
relevant criminal history.
Its primary goal is to provide a
comprehensive criminal history for an individual to be used
for many purposes, including for identification, assistance
in developing suspects in an ongoing criminal investigation,
and for enhanced sentencing in criminal prosecutions.

Expungement: |
|
|
|
 What is an Expungement?
Each state offers its own definition of an Expungement.
Generally, an Expungement is the sealing or destroying of
criminal records. An Expungement is the process that removes a
criminal record from general view. People who have been expunged
have paid their debt to society and can go on living their lives
like their criminal past had never occurred.
Not every case can be expunged.
Every state has its own requirements that have to be met before
a criminal record can be expunged. Contrary to popular belief,
records are not "sealed" automatically with the passage of time,
but require the filing of a petition with the court requesting
the expungement and stating the reasons you are requesting it
and how you meet the criteria set by law.
Who has access to
criminal records?
Before, it was only law enforcement and government agencies that
had access to your record. Today, anyone with a credit card and
the internet are able view your criminal past. There are
businesses that offer criminal background checks on anyone.
Will my juvenile record
show up on a record search?
Juvenile crime has increased since the 1990s. Since then,
Juvenile records have been made
more available due to increased
crime and demand. If you want to clear your juvenile record we
can also help seal it.
 What happens after I am
Expunged?
Once your record is successfully expunged you do not have to
disclose the conviction to anyone else. On employment, housing
and education applications, you will not have to reveal any of
your past criminal history. Your criminal record is treated as
it had never occurred before. There
will be absolutely no record of your arrest or conviction.
