It is a process that takes more than filling out an application and waiting for approval. In fact, those who are interesting in verifying their eligibility and petitioning for criminal record expungement often hire a licensed criminal lawyer who specializes in the sealing and expungement petition process. Furthermore, there are very detailed requirements to qualify. Courts base their decisions to grant criminal record expungement to a past offender on several factors. <\/p>\n<h1><em>These factors can include, but are not limited to:<\/em><\/h1>\n<p>&#8640; <font color=\"#4d8080\"><tt>The severity of your crime;<\/tt><\/font><\/p>\n<p>&#8640; <font color=\"#4d8080\"><tt>The extent of your criminal history;<\/tt><\/font><\/p>\n<p>&#8640; <font color=\"#4d8080\"><tt>The length of time served for the offense;<\/tt><\/font><\/p>\n<p>&#8640; <font color=\"#4d8080\"><tt>The risk or threat you pose to the public;<\/tt><\/font><\/p>\n<p>&#8640; <font color=\"#4d8080\"><tt>The degree of rehabilitation you\u2019ve taken after the offense;<\/tt><\/font><\/p>\n<p>&#8640; <font color=\"#4d8080\"><tt>The amount of restitution paid, both financially and morally;<\/tt><\/font><\/p>\n<p>&#8640; <font color=\"#4d8080\"><tt>Your current criminal standing;<\/tt><\/font><\/p>\n<p>&#8640; <font color=\"#4d8080\"><tt>Your employment and community involvement;<\/tt><\/font><\/p>\n<p>&#8640; <font color=\"#4d8080\"><tt>Recommendations of connected law enforcement, victims, witnesses, and other related or affected parties;<\/tt><\/font><\/p>\n<p>&#8640; <font color=\"#4d8080\"><tt>How you will benefit from having your record removed, and whether or not these benefits outweigh the disadvantage that would result from restricting your criminal history from public access.<\/tt><\/font><\/p>\n<h1>Where to Go From Here<\/h1>\n<p>The limits to criminal record expungement and record sealing vary from case to case because of the numerous factors that influence a court\u2019s decision in the matter.
