Expungements
Certain criminal charges and misdemeanor convictions can be cleared from your record under Alabama law. If you have eligible charges, we may be able to help.
Everyone deserves a second chance, but old charges and convictions can prevent people from finding jobs, housing, and other necessities. Alabama law allows for certain things to be cleared from your record so that they don't show up when someone runs a background check. More information is available through the links at the bottom of this page.
