Who usually qualifies

A plain-language starting point

Charges that were dismissed or ended in an acquittal can often be expunged. Most misdemeanors may qualify five years after the sentence is finished.

Many lower-level felonies may also qualify after five years. We begin by checking the exact case and its eligibility record.

The process

Four steps, usually three to six months

01

Order eligibility

We order your certification of eligibility from the Administrative Office of the Courts.

02

File the petition

We file in the county where the case was.

03

Allow time for review

The prosecutor has a chance to object.

04

Get the order

The judge signs the order when expungement is granted.

Written before we start

$750 flat for the first case.

$350 for each additional case in the same county, plus court costs. We tell you the court costs in writing before we start.
