Did You Know?

The job market has shrunk dramatically: a recent study showed that for 1 available job, there are 10 unemployed workers. As a result, employers are looking for easy ways to weed people out. Those with a criminal record are often the first to go, regardless of their qualifications.
Some companies will simply sell you publicly available information on how to file a petition to expunge/seal or for a governor's pardon, then leave you to navigate the process yourself. We are a law firm which means we can file the paperwork on your behalf, appear in court, and complete the entire process for you.
If you've ever been arrested, you have a record, even if the case was dismissed. Your fingerprints and record are probably with at least 4 agencies: the arresting police (for example, Chicago Police), the State Police (for example, Illinois State Police), the FBI, and the county courthouse.
A juvenile record does not expunge/seal automatically when you turn 18.
A felony conviction never goes away, no matter how much time has passed, unless you are granted a pardon with expungement, with the exception of a few felonies that are expungeable/sealable.
Your arrest record is publicly accessible to any person unless it is expunged or sealed.
