Record Expungement Cases
Arrest Expungement
If you've ever been arrested for any reason, it will appear on your criminal record for the rest of your life. Regardless of whether you are even charged with a crime, let alone convicted of one, your record will forever detail your arrest. Potential employers will see this record, so it is in your best interest to do all you can to clear it.
It is very difficult to have an arrest removed from your record. However, you may petition the court to have it stricken. Depending on the circumstances, this can be a long and convoluted process. When getting your record expungement, make sure you have a good legal team at your side to help ease the process and guide you through.
Where Criminal Records are kept:
National Crime Information Center (NCIC): A federal database managed by the FBI, containing all records pertaining to felonies and serious misdemeanors.
National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS): Another federal system meant to instantly check the criminal records for all gun purchases.
National Driver Register (NDR): Keeps records on any transportation-related crimes such as DUI charges; run by the Department of Transportation.
