Chicagoland Criminal Defense Attorneys has recently explained that anyone can have some of their criminal records expunged or sealed. Expunged criminal records are records that have been erased and thus will never appear in case of a future search. On the other hand, sealed criminal records are not available to the public, they are hidden. The best way to approach this is through the help of a professional Chicago criminal attorney.
According to their website, “Under specific circumstances, Illinois law allows felony, misdemeanor, or municipal ordinance violation records in Criminal and Traffic cases to be expunged or sealed. If you qualify, a judge can order your records sealed or expunged by law enforcement agencies. “Expunged” records are destroyed, “Sealed” records are closed and restricted from public access, but are not destroyed. This means employers and creditors cannot see these arrests.”
A person interested in having their criminal cases expunged or sealed will have to provide all the necessary information for the process to succeed. The Chicago attorney will walk the client through the process of finding the criminal records that can be expunged and those that can be sealed. This includes arrest dates, the police department that carried out the arrest, the type of charge that led to the arrest, the outcome of the case showing whether a person was guilty or not guilty, the sentence received, and the date of the sentence.
Not all cases can be expunged or sealed, but with the right criminal attorney in Chicago, it is possible to have most of them hidden from the public.
