For many people, having a criminal arrest and/or conviction record can create unwanted and negative consequences long after a person’s debt to society has been paid. A record does not even have to reflect an actual conviction to also do damage to a person’s reputation. As background checks and the availability of technology make it easier than ever to access the complete history of a person, any type of legal record can cause issues for everything related to applying for a job, to trying to rent an apartment, buying a car, and in many other instances.

Recognizing that criminal records may do an excessive amount of unintended damage to a person’s life, in January of 2018, Missouri enacted a record expungement. We will sit down with you, discuss your options, and suggest the best course of action for moving forward with your individual situation. To understand the process please understand that “Expunged” means “erased or removed completely.” In legal terms, expungement is the court process by which a criminal record is destroyed or sealed. Expungement proceedings almost always take place at the state level. There is no federal law governing expungements. Each state, however, has its own qualifications and procedures for expungement, usually requiring a waiting period and a low level of severity to the offense.
