What is an expungement and how do I obtain one?
An expungement is an administrative mechanism by which a prior criminal conviction is removed from law enforcement records. An expungement is not a pardon, a commutation or a reversal of a criminal conviction. Rather, it is a means for someone convicted of a crime to remove any record of the offense. An expungement can have many benefits, including facilitating the ability of an individual to re-enter the workforce and obtain gainful employment.
