Expungement Sealings

Expungement and Record Sealing Attorney in Flossmoor, Illinois

A criminal record can have long-lasting effects on your life, impacting employment, housing, and educational opportunities. Fortunately, Illinois law allows eligible individuals to expunge or seal their records, providing a fresh start. Our firm, located in Flossmoor, Illinois, helps clients throughout Cook, Will, and Kankakee counties navigate the expungement and record sealing process with confidence and care.

Expungement of Criminal Records

Expungement erases qualifying criminal records, making them unavailable to the public. If you were arrested or charged but not convicted, or if you completed a diversion program, you may be eligible for expungement in Illinois. Our firm will review your record and guide you through the process to clear your name.

Sealing of Criminal Records

Record sealing restricts access to your criminal record, making it visible only to law enforcement and certain government agencies. If expungement isn’t an option, sealing may still help you improve your future prospects. We work with clients to determine their eligibility and file petitions with the Cook County courts.

Expungement of Arrest Records

If you were arrested but never charged or your charges were dismissed, those records may still appear in background checks. Expunging your arrest record can eliminate these hurdles, helping you move forward without unnecessary obstacles.

Expungement of Juvenile Records

Juvenile records can often be expunged to allow young people a chance to start adulthood with a clean slate. Illinois law provides opportunities to expunge juvenile records for eligible individuals. Our firm assists families in Flossmoor and Cook County with this important process.

Vacating Convictions for Non-Violent Offenses

Certain non-violent convictions may be eligible for vacatur, which nullifies the conviction and allows the record to be expunged. We evaluate your case to determine if vacating the conviction is a viable option and work to clear your record.

Expungement for Misdemeanors

Misdemeanor offenses can follow you for years, even for minor infractions. Illinois law allows many misdemeanor convictions to be expunged or sealed. Our attorney can help you pursue relief and reduce the impact of past mistakes on your life.

Expungement for Felonies

While expunging a felony can be more challenging, certain felony convictions are eligible for relief. Our firm has the knowledge and experience to help you navigate the complexities of felony expungement and reclaim your future.

Expungement of Traffic Offenses

Traffic offenses, such as DUIs or reckless driving, can affect your driving record and insurance rates. In some cases, these offenses may qualify for expungement or sealing, depending on their severity and your eligibility under Illinois law.

Expungement of Drug-Related Offenses

Drug-related offenses, such as possession or paraphernalia charges, can often be expunged or sealed if you meet the requirements. Clearing these records can open doors to better employment and educational opportunities.
