Denver Lawyer Helping You to Clear or Seal Your Record
Expunging Prior Convictions
In this tough and highly competitive job market, a clear criminal history may be the difference between getting a job you deserve and a job for which you have to settle. The successful sealing of criminal and court records prevents anyone - except the court and police - from accessing those records.
Many people are under the false impression that simply because the criminal case against them was dismissed, was never filed after their arrest, or they were acquitted at trial, that their criminal history is "clean." That is not true. If you were arrested - or in many situations simply charged - your criminal record likely still contains details about your case.
The attorneys at Feldmann Nagel, LLC are experienced in protecting privacy rights and clearing the names of eligible individuals. You need a skilled Denver expungement lawyer to assist you in this often complex process. Not every case or individual is eligible to have their case sealed or expunged, although most juvenile delinquency cases are eligible.
People who may qualify to have all police and court records sealed and possibly expunged include:
- Those who have had charges against them dismissed
- Those who have successfully completed a deferred judgment and sentence or diversion program
- Those who have been acquitted of charges through exceptional legal representation
- Those who have been wrongfully accused of a crime
