Reasons for Record Expungement

A poor decision in a moment of weakness, or hindered by the rationale of an immature juvenile mind, may greatly impact a person’s future. If a “not guilty” or “no contest plea” were entered, one might want to look into having their record expunged. Misdemeanors can be sealed, along with a number of felonies. Something as simple as sealing your record could prove to help your future tremendously. Consider the following consequences of having criminal records made available to the public:

  • Many landlords do a background check. If a criminal background is found, they may choose not to rent to that person.
  • Finding jobs is tough as it is, especially in the current economy. A background check is almost always a part of the application process. A person with a criminal record may be faced with limited job opportunities , along with the possibility of earning lower wages.
  • People with criminal records could be looked upon as higher risk by insurance companies and may be faced with paying higher premiums.
  • A person’s choice of schools may be limited, along with their means to pay for them. Scholarships, grants, and financial aid may be difficult to obtain.
  • Professional occupations could become limited. Many jobs that need a license or certification such as: nursing, daycare teacher, insurance agents, and others could be affected by having a record.
