In legal terms, to “expunge” a criminal record means to erase or remove it altogether. Expungement is when a court rules to seal your criminal record so that, legally, on public record, it is as if it had never occurred. However, it is not the same as a pardon. It also does not remove your crime reports from news stories or social media, where they will still circulate. If you are seeking to expunge your criminal record, you need a reliable Chesteron criminal defense attorney. Contact Worthley Law LLC today.
