Have you ever been arrested?

Because everybody deserves a second chance. 

Do you have an old misdemeanor conviction on your record? Would you like to wipe the slate clean, and not have to explain some youthful indiscretion to prospective employers? What you need is an expungement.

Expungement (also called "expunction") is a court-ordered process in which the legal record of an arrest or a criminal conviction is "sealed," or erased in the eyes of the law. When a conviction is expunged, the process may also be referred to as "setting aside a criminal conviction." The availability of expungement, and the procedure for getting an arrest or conviction expunged, will vary according to the state or county in which the arrest or conviction occurred.

Just because you have an expungement or seal, your criminal record will not simply disappear! In the United States today, privately owned criminal database companies will not remove you from their databases without a court ordered expungement or seal order signed by a state judge.

Mollo Law Firm can remove you from most privately owned criminal databases electronically and our firm will also notify the state attorney's general office, the prosecutor, local sheriff, local police departments and countless other agencies.

Did you know that a prior arrest stays on your record forever? Even if the charges against you were dismissed or downgraded.  This includes cases where defendants were accepted into PTI, received a Conditional Discharge or a Municipal Ordinance. The record of arrest never goes away.

Copies of police reports, mug shots, fingerprints and other evidence of your arrest are available to the public.  Employers, schools, insurance companies, landlords, adoption agencies, banks, mortgage lenders and nosey neighbors routinely check these records. 

A criminal record can haunt you long after the day you left the courthouse.  Even seemingly minor charges involving college bar fights, underage drinking, drug possession, harassment, fake ID, shoplifting or disorderly conduct can affect your future. 

Jobs are hard to come by these days.  Don’t miss opportunities or waste the hard work and money you have invested in your education or training. 

Access to criminal records and information about your past is now easier than ever to obtain.  Interested parties can find out about your arrest with just the click of a mouse.  This information can be easily spread on the Internet and social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. 

An expungement can erase your criminal record. We can help you escape this potential embarrassment and loss of opportunity.  Call our office today for a free consultation.
