Concord Expungement Attorney
Are You Eligible for Expungement?
Expungement is the removal of records pertaining to criminal charges against you. This information can no longer be used for civil use or by law enforcement agencies and will not appear on public records but the information is still available to law enforcement.
Once the record is officially expunged, the individual is to be treated as if the criminal charges never existed. In the event that an individual commits a crime after the expungement of previous charges, however, the court may deem the prior record necessary in order to allot adequate sentencing.
Criminal charges can be expunged if the convicted perpetrator served the sentence to completion. An individual who was unjustly charged with a criminal offense or associated with a criminal defense case may be entitled to annulment of the records. Expungement may also be requested if a person's DNA record was used for a case that was eventually dismissed.
Some situations do not allow for an expungement, such as a motor vehicle offense, which cannot be expunged even after paying one's debt to society. Individuals convicted of a violent crime or obstruction of justice, or those who have served an extended prison sentence, will not be granted expungement.
If you would like to seek expungement for past criminal charges or any record that directly associates you with a criminal case, a Concord criminal defense attorney can offer you guidance and sound legal advice. Attorney Darrin M. Gamradt has extensive experience with criminal defense cases and has the advantage of having prosecution experience in Private Warrant Court, Juvenile Court and Administrative Court.
