Expungements

Expungement refers to the process of filing a petition with the court to remove whole cases and/or charges from your criminal record. Previously, only cases and charges that had resulted in acquittal, withdrawal, or dismissal were eligible for the expungement process – convictions were not. Recent changes in Pennsylvania law now allow for expungement of some low level misdemeanors.

The expungement process is extremely valuable for individuals who are looking to clear their record as they seek professional advancement.
