Need An Expungement?

We will file a petition with the court to have your arrest record and/or criminal conviction erased from their criminal history record. The court issues an order of expungement and the applicable offense is no longer part of one’s view-able criminal history record.  Law enforcement will still be able to see your information for specified law enforcement purposes. At this point, you can legally say that you were not arrested for this offense.  Reach out to a skilled defense attorney to learn more.

What You Should Know

In 2013, the Alabama legislature passed a law allowing charges for non-felonies or non-violent felonies to be removed from a someone’s criminal record.  This can only be accomplished under certain circumstances. Alabama’s expungement law does not allow for criminal convictions to be expunged. In order to expunge a charge, that charge must have been dismissed either through a program, a Nol Prosse, or a verdict or an acquittal.

Charges for non-violent felony offenses may be expunged if the charge was dismissed with prejudice.  It is important to keep in mind that there is is a 90 day waiting period before someone can file a petition for expungement for a non-violent felony charge that was dismissed with prejudice.

Charges can also be expunged if the charge was no-billed by a grand jury, the individual was found not guilty.  A charge that was dismissed without prejudice more than five years ago can be Expunged.  A charge that was dismissed after successfully completed a court-approved diversion or deferred prosecution program (e.g. substance abuse, mental health) can be Expunged.  In some cases it must have been more than one year since the completion of that program.  Let our experienced lawyers help you with your Expungement Petition.
