Expunction Overview
If you had your case dismissed, no-billed by a grand jury or if you were found not guilty at trial, you may be able to have your case completely erased, or expunged, from your record. If your record has been expunged, you may be able to deny ever being arrested or even charged with a criminal offense. Contact the lawyers at The Kahn Law Firm to see if you qualify for an expunction today!
Non-Disclosure Overview
In order to qualify for a non-disclosure, you must have been placed on deferred adjudication for a criminal offense and successfully completed the probation. If the non-disclosure is granted, the order prevents law enforcement agencies from making the arrest record or criminal record available to the general public, credit agencies, employers and landlords. However, it is important to note that your criminal record will still be available to law enforcement agencies and government agencies such as those who issue license for various professions such as electricians, teachers, hairdressers, doctors, lawyers, etc.
A Petition for Non-Disclosure may be used for both misdemeanors and felonies. However, there are some offenses that are ineligible for a Non-Disclosure such as murder, injury to a child, elderly or disabled, certain sexual offenses and others.
Although many misdemeanor offenses are immediately eligible for a Petition for Non-Disclosure, there is a waiting period before a Petition for Non-Disclosure for some misdemeanor offenses (2 years) and all eligible felony offenses (5 years).
To determine if you are eligible for an Expunction or a Non-Disclosure, contact one of the skilled lawyers at The Kahn Law Firm by calling 713-226-9900… today!!
