Many clients come to our criminal defense law firm concerned about maintaining their ability to gain meaningful employment, possess firearms, and rent apartments. They are often unaware that criminal records are available as public information and easily accessible to millions through the Internet. Located in Houston, our expunction attorneys employ a variety of tactics to remove accusations, arrests, convictions, and probation from criminal records.

Criminal records may be completely erased through the process of expunction. Expunction is most effective in situations where a client has been arrested but not prosecuted or charged with a crime, has been charged with a misdemeanor but the charges were dismissed, or when a client has been found not guilty of a misdemeanor. Events such as these must be removed through expunction in order to be fully erased from a criminal record for employment and governmental purposes.

Criminal records may be partially erased through a petition for non-disclosure. A petition for non disclosure may be filed on behalf of a client after completion of a deferred adjudication probationary period. Orders of non-disclosure petition the court to seal a criminal record from public view. This option provides protection concerning private matters, but is incomplete when compared to expunction because the criminal record remains intact for governmental purposes.
