CLEARING YOUR CRIMINAL RECORD AFTER A CONVICTION

If you’ve already faced a conviction, your legal journey doesn’t necessarily end there. There are options available to have your criminal record wiped clean—a process known as expungement. Expungement serves as a legal remedy that can erase past convictions, giving you a fresh start as though those charges never occurred.

If you’ve been convicted, you may qualify for expungement—erasing past offenses to open doors for employment, housing, and education. The process requires:

• Filing a formal petition in Connecticut courts
• Meeting eligibility criteria based on conviction type and timeline
• Demonstrating rehabilitation efforts

We guide you every step—from eligibility review to petition preparation—so you can move forward with a clean slate.
