Does an Expungement Erase My Record?No! An expungement does NOT erase your criminal record. An expungement SEALS your past criminal convictions or arrests from PUBLIC view, meaning public agencies (employers, landlords, etc.) do not have access to your past criminal record.
-
How long does it take for the expungement to be complete?The time it takes for an expungement to be complete (accepted by the courts), depends on the District Court that you are filing in. Expungements can take between 8-12 months. In some situations, it can take longer. When having an attorney file your expungement for you, you can rest assure that your attorney will keep up with the process of your expungements, and update you on any new information.

I am trying to apply for jobs, ASAP but I need an expungement! Can you expedite this for me?"The expungement process can not be expedited. It is an official court process, that must go through all of the checks and balances of the court system before it is approved. Remember, an expungement can take between 8-12 months before it is approved and your criminal record is sealed from public record. It is best to start the expungement process at least 8 months before seeking employment.

About Flat Fees
This is an actual quote from another law firm’s website: “There is no way to predict the total cost of your legal matter.”
​
​
Would you buy a house, a car, get a haircut or pay for any other service without knowing how much the total cost is? Of course not.
​​
So why do Attorneys expect you to hire them and refuse to tell you how much it will cost?​ What they really are saying is: “We can’t tell you because we bill by the hour, so the longer the case takes, the more money we make.”

The truth about retainers!
Low-priced retainers sound really tempting. The truth about retainers is that the "low-price" you were quoted, was just to get you into the door. Retainers are billed at hourly rates, so once "they" blow through that initial retainer, you will receive more invoices telling you that you need to pay even more money to continue your case, or else they will withdraw representation. Leaving you frantically searching for more money or scrambling to find another attorney (even more money).
