Common questions

Should I talk to police before hiring a lawyer?

You can decline questions and ask for a lawyer. That request is your right.

What does expungement do?

It clears qualifying records so most background checks no longer show the case.

General next steps

  • Write down key dates, names and any paperwork you have.
  • Compare two or three lawyers and ask how their first consultation works.
