Can my juvenile criminal history record sealed or expunged?
Yes, under certain circumstances. Prior to October 1, 1994 (for felonies), and July 1, 1996 (for specified misdemeanors), juvenile arrest records were not available to the general public unless the juvenile was treated as an adult. Under those circumstances if certain qualifications are met there would be an automatic expunction of the record after a specified period. Juvenile defendants who successfully complete a qualified diversion program may be eligible for expunction of their record. If a person wishes to pursue the judicial sealing or expunction of his or her juvenile record, Attorney Mark Anthony Gager will be able to represent you.
