Illinois Expungement Attorneys

Aggressive Expungement Lawyers in DuPage County and Cook County

When an individual is arrested in Illinois, it automatically goes on their permanent record. Even if the charges are dropped, the case is dismissed or they gain acquittal, the record remains unless you are proactive and petition to have your name cleared. This can be a confusing and challenging process; therefore, it is best to have a skilled expungements attorney in your corner aggressively advocating for your interests.

WHAT IS AN EXPUNGEMENT?

Expungement is the legal process by which a prior criminal incident is erased from your record and any official indexes, making it seem as if it never happened; as opposed to criminal record sealing, wherein the record still remains, but it is not visible to the public. After a petition to expunge is filed, objecting parties, including the Illinois State Police, the State’s Attorney, and any arresting agency have 60 days after filing a petition to expunge to object to your records being expunged.

To find out if you qualify for an expungement, it is best to start by obtaining a copy of your criminal record. Our attorney will thoroughly examine your record to determine if you meet the criteria. If you are not eligible to have your record expunged, we will look at other options such as record sealing or an alternative remedy.
