How Can I Seal or Expunge My Record?

Don’t let your mistakes rule your life.

There is a process to sealing or expunging your record. For starters, you’ll need to obtain a Certificate of Eligibility in order to petition the court. This means proper legal representation is a great help in the process.

Your past mistakes do not need to define your future. Sealing or expunging your record can improve your livelihood, making it easier to get a job, and more. So, if you have a criminal cloud hanging over your head, please reach out to our experienced team at McCulloch Law, P.A.

Sealing a Record

By law, adult criminal records are public. When you get a record sealed, it means that access to that information is very restricted. This does not mean that your record is gone — certain officials can still view information relevant to their duties.

Expunging a Record

Expunging a record goes a step further than sealing one and is more difficult to obtain. Expungement completely removes your criminal record from the legal system. You must petition the court in order to have your record expunged.
