Expungement is a step forward
It is unfortunate, but true, that having a criminal record can prevent you from getting a job. In a study by The Economist, 65% of employers admitted that they would not knowingly hire an ex-convict. Expungement in Illinois gives ex-offenders the opportunity to seal their record so employers cannot turn them away for their past. It also gives them the chance to take a step forward and expungement helps the community as a whole.
Those who have steady employment and housing are contributing to the local economy. They are also less likely to commit another crime. In fact, recidivism rates among expungement recipients are low. Another study shows that overall, only 3.4% are rearrested and only 1.8% are reconvicted for crimes within two year. As time passes from expungement, arrests and conviction rates drop even more. Expungement in Illinois can help you get opportunities like everyone else and become a more productive member of your community. At XpungeChicago, we are here to help you take that step and expunge your past and expand your future.
