Boston Expungement Attorney
Clear Your Criminal Record
Expungement is a legal process by which a criminal record can be sealed or cleared, bringing a person peace of mind and freedom in their future endeavors. Having a criminal record can seriously hinder your ability to gain employment as well as to obtain certain loans. By working with a lawyer and going through the expungement process, however, you have the opportunity to get the fresh start you deserve.
Everyone makes mistakes. It’s a fact that certain people are also wrongfully accused of and convicted for criminal offenses. The justice system allows convicted offenders and those with criminal records to seek relief through expungement or a criminal appeal. While an appeal must be filed within a certain amount of time following the conclusion of a case, there are particular requirements to expungement that must be met to qualify:
- At least 10 or 15 years have passed since the completion of your sentence.
- You have not been arrested for or charged with any crimes in these past 10 or 15 years.
- You were not found guilty
- You were not acquitted of a charge
If you were a minor when you were convicted, you may be able to work with an attorney in order to have your record sealed just 3 years after the successful completion of your sentence. A juvenile criminal record could prohibit you from getting into college, getting a job, or getting an apartment, so it is very important that you have your record sealed!
