How do you petition the court for record expungement?

In: Criminal Law, State Laws [Edit categories]

Answer:

You'll need to get expungement forms from the County who holds the court record. You can check to see if they have instructions and the expungement forms online. If the Court doesn't have online expungement information then you'll need to contact the Court Clerk or you can hire a lawyer initiate the process.
