Expunging Criminal Record

Public Service Message

This office does not handle criminal matters, but it often occurs we are contacted by people who want their past criminal record expunged (removed) most often because of difficulties when applying for a job. You can do it yourself without a lawyer. There are advantages and disadvantages to having one’s record expunged. The advantage is that if you qualify it is fairly simple; and if you do not qualify there are other ways of accomplishing the same thing. The disadvantage is that many private organizations collect criminal information to sell, so one has to find as many of the Internet sites as possible to advise them the information should be removed from their private database. This means a lot of searching on the internet, some expense and lots of time, but it is worth it in the end. To find out if you qualify and to obtain the necessary instructions and Forms needed, just google texaslawhelp.org where you will find the information and answers to you questions, instruction on how it is done and Forms Needed. This note tells you where to look to clear an arrest from your record it is not legal advice. The Livingston Law Firm www.justicewarrior.com
