Two Ways to Clean up Your Criminal Record
Do you have a criminal record from your past that you wish would go away? If your youthful tangles with the law are still haunting you, there may be a way to bury your record once and for all.
Importance of a Clean Record
Even if your arrest record was in the distant past, it will still come up in a background check. Without your knowing it, a criminal record can have a big impact on your life. It may prevent you from securing a rental agreement, a mortgage or a better job.

Can People Really See My Record?
In the age of Google, criminal records are widely available. The reality is that anyone willing to pay for a background check is likely to uncover your past. There are even private companies that survive solely to gather arrest records and post them on the Web. Once your record is distributed on the Web, it is tedious to completely erase it.
Is There a Difference Between Expungement and Sealing?
Whether your record is sealed or expunged, you no longer need to acknowledge your arrest and it will not be revealed in a background check.
However, there is a key difference. If eligible, expungement offers the strongest protection as it assures that your records are destroyed. With a sealed record, the files are not accessible through normal channels, but they still exist and could be revealed under certain circumstances.
Do I Have to Get a Lawyer Involved?
While it is possible to file all the required paperwork yourself, there are pitfalls in doing so. Filing the wrong document can bring frustrating delays. Worse yet, the wrong filing may result in less background check protection than you deserve. An experienced attorney will guide you through the process in the least amount of time and assure the strictest protection possible.
