Benefits of Expungement

Expungement is a general term used to describe the removal of information from a criminal record to allow an ex-felon to live more comfortably. This is usually accomplished through the deletion or sealing of information. Expungement can make life easier by:

• Providing a past felon closure
• Allowing a past felon to legally answer no to a potential employer or other background checker when asked if he/she has been convicted of a felony
• Allowing a past felon to become eligible for a broader range of training certificates and professional licenses
• Allowing a past felon to become eligible for student loans
• Allowing a felon to become eligible for housing assistance
