What will an expungement do for me?
An expungment allows you to legally state that you were never arrested or charged with the particular crime, the records of which have been expunged. When completing questions on job or school applications about whether you have ever been arrested or charged with a crime, you can honestly answer no regarding any charges that have been expunged. Furthermore, an expungement prevents anyone else who knows about the expungement from revealing the existence of the charges. To do so itself is a crime.
