Expungement Lawyers in Wheaton

Under Illinois law, individuals may seek to have their criminal records expunged or erased even if they have previously been convicted of a crime. If an individual's petition for expungement is granted, all affected arrest records maintained by the State of Illinois may be wiped from their record. In addition, all related court documents are impounded, and they may be only be accessed in the future by court order.

You may be eligible for expungement if:

  • You were arrested but never formally charged;
  • Charges against you were dropped or dismissed;
  • You were found not guilty of the charges;
  • Your case was overturned on appeal;
  • You were pardoned by the Governor;
  • You were convicted of a misdemeanor or Class 4 felony offense involving cannabis prior to January 1, 2020;
  • You pled guilty or were found guilty, but received a sentence of court supervision; or
  • You pled guilty or were found guilty, but received a sentence of qualified probation.

If you have made a mistake in the past, you should not be punished for the rest of your life. Our skilled expungement attorneys can assist you in clearing your name and moving on with your life.
