WHY GET YOUR RECORD EXPUNGED?
In Colorado, arrests and criminal charges can continue to stay on your record as a matter of public record even after a verdict is found in your case. Even if you were found not guilty in court, or if your charges were dropped, employers, educational institutions, and others can still find these charges when performing a background check. Getting your record expunged or sealed can help you to move forward without previous charges affecting your prospects.
HOW CAN YOU GET CRIMINAL CHARGES SEALED OR EXPUNGED FROM YOUR RECORD?
If your charges were dropped, or you were found not guilty, Novo Legal can help to seal your record. While a conviction or guilty plea may present obstacles in expunging your record, some cases are still able to successfully be sealed, especially in the case of certain drug charges. If you are curious about how you can get your record expunged, contact one of our experienced attorneys to explore your options.
Benefits of getting your record expunged
A record of criminal charges can reflect negatively on you in many places, garnering attention from employers to schools to loan applications. Your past chargers do not have to follow you through life. Sealing your record will make our charges inaccessible to public view and to government agencies, except in the case of a court order.
Expungement of your record vs. Sealing your record
Expunging and sealing your record are two technically different terms for removing your charges from public view. Expunging your record refers to any charges related to a minor or charged to you while your were a minor, while sealing a record refers to anything charged to an adult.
