Clearing Your Criminal Record – How to Get a Fresh Start
A Criminal Record Can Hold You Back –
But You May Qualify for Expungement or Sealing
A criminal record can make it hard to get a job, rent a home, or obtain professional licenses. But in many cases, you may be eligible for expungement or record sealing (non-disclosure).
🔹 What’s the Difference Between Expungement & Record Sealing?
✔ Expungement: Your record is completely erased—as if it never existed. No employer, landlord, or background check can access it.
✔ Non-Disclosure (Record Sealing): Your record is hidden from public view, but some government agencies may still see it.
