Illinois Expungement & Record Sealing Attorney
An old arrest or conviction can quietly cost you jobs and housing for years. Expungement or sealing can give you a clean slate.
Illinois allows many arrests and some convictions to be expunged or sealed under 20 ILCS 2630/5.2, depending on the offense, the outcome, and the time that has passed. Expungement erases the record; sealing hides it from most background checks.
We review your full criminal history, determine exactly what you are eligible to clear, and handle the petitions and court appearances so you can move forward.
