An expungement does not erase a record so much as change who can see it. The conviction stops appearing on most background checks and you no longer have to report it on job applications, but it still exists, and an expungement attorney should be clear with you about both halves of that.
Some law enforcement agencies can still view the record, and it can count as a prior conviction if you pick up new charges later. Within those limits it can make a real difference to education and employment.
Why Choose Alejo Lugo as Your Expungement Attorney
At the Law Offices of Alejo Lugo, we are committed to helping you navigate the expungement process. We have over 20 years of experience in handling these cases, including both the most complex and simple types of proceedings.
For example, normally you must wait to successfully complete probation in order to start the expungement process. We can help get the ball rolling faster by requesting early termination of probation. We can also assist with cases where it is necessary to get a “wobbler” felony conviction reduced to a misdemeanor before expungement.
