Fighting Aggressively For You, Your Rights & Your Future

Record Sealing Attorney in La Grange, Illinois

If Your Records Cannot Be Expunged, You May Still Have the Ability to Have Them Sealed.

Just because your records cannot be expunged does not necessarily mean you don’t have additional steps to take to protect your records.

Sealing your records does not completely give you a clean slate as expungements do, but what the process does is allow for certain convictions to be taken off your public record. This can make it easier for you to pursue a job, school, and housing opportunities without the hassle of a criminal record holding you back.

20 ILCS 2630/5.2(c) lays out the records that can be sealed, those include:

• Arrests and charges for misdemeanors and felonies that did not lead to a conviction
• Minor traffic offenses if you were released without being charged
• Felony traffic offenses that were reduced to an eligible misdemeanor
• Convictions for most misdemeanors and felonies 3 years after the end of the sentence.
• A misdemeanor conviction of public indecency.
