Expunge Court Records Permanently

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the expungement process take?
The timeline varies by state and court, but typically ranges from 2-6 months. Factors include court backlog, case complexity, and whether objections are filed.
Will expunged records still show on FBI background checks?
Expunged records are removed from public databases but may still appear on FBI and certain government background checks. However, they cannot be used against you in most civilian contexts.
Can I expunge federal crimes?
Federal crimes cannot be expunged, but may be eligible for presidential pardon. We can assess your options and refer you to appropriate federal clemency resources.
What's the difference between expungement and sealing?
Expungement destroys records completely, while sealing makes them inaccessible to the public but allows certain agencies to view them. We'll recommend the best option for your situation.
