Most people assume that arrests that resulted in a dismissal or acquittal are automatically expunged after a certain period of time. Unfortunately, however, this is incorrect. In order to have your criminal record expunged, you must file a petition and follow the court protocol to finalize the expungement.

After your records are sealed or expunged, you may truthfully tell potential employers and landlords that you were never arrested or charged with a crime. An expungement restores you to your civil status prior to your arrest.

If you would like to begin the expungement or sealing process, call Xpunge Chicago today for a free case review. Expungement attorney Matt Fakhoury will handle your petition from start to finish, thereby enabling you to expunge your past and expand your future! 847-920-4540 or XpungeChicago.com
