Expungement of Criminal Records
Yes, You Can Move on With Your Life
Removing the Public Record of Past Arrests
If you were ever arrested and charged with a crime, an arrest record was entered into a statewide database and then sent to a national database at the National Crime Information Center (NCIC). Even if your case was later dismissed or you were found not guilty, there is still a public record of your arrest. That can be a problem.
When a prospective employer does a background check, that arrest will show up. If a prospective landlord does a background check, that arrest will put you at a disadvantage. Colleges, graduate schools, scholarship committees, professional licensure boards—they may all conduct background checks.

Can I Get my Criminal Record Expunged?
With the help of a knowledgeable Illinois expungement lawyer, you may be able to clear most, if not all, misdemeanor charges and some felony arrest records from public view. Your record could be expunged or sealed if:
- You have completed the required waiting period for the charge against you, and
- The court dismissed your case, declined to hear your case, said you were not guilty (acquitted you), or a deferred disposition resolved your case.
