Sealing an Arrest Record
If you were arrested but your case was dismissed by the government, you have a criminal record. If you were arrested but your case was dismissed by the court, you have a criminal record. And, if you went to trial and won your case, you have a criminal record. You need help. You need a law firm experienced in motions to the court to seal your record. You need the Law Firm of Bruce M. Cooper.
By sealing your arrest record, that information is no longer public and most employers will not have access to your records. This means that you may not have to disclose that you have a criminal record in most instances. However, the law in the District of Columbia now goes farther and allows persons to try to seal their records without regard to their innocence – either because they cannot prove that they are innocent or because they are not innocent.
Expunge Your Conviction
An expungement allows you to clear your criminal record so that you have a fresh start after a criminal conviction. To qualify for expungement, you must have successfully completed probation without any violations. Only certain convictions qualify for expungement and you need an experienced law firm to help you. You need the Law Firm of Bruce M. Cooper.
