Expungement of Records Lawyer in Denver, CO

BOOK CONSULTATION

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.

If you are not a U.S. citizen, sealing has limits. A Colorado conviction that is sealed or expunged generally still counts as a conviction under federal immigration law (INA § 101(a)(48)), and USCIS, immigration courts, CBP, and U.S. consulates can still require you to disclose arrests and convictions even if they are sealed or expunged. Get advice on the immigration consequences before you ask a court to seal or expunge anything.

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 charges do not have to follow you through life. Sealing your record closes it to most public view, but criminal justice agencies and some other government agencies can still access it.

Expungement of your record vs. Sealing your record

Expunging and sealing your record are two technically different terms for limiting who can see your record. In Colorado, expungement applies mainly to eligible juvenile records, while sealing applies to eligible adult records.
