Expungements

Expungement (also known as expunction), is provided by most states but varies from state to state. Expungement is often available for persons who were arrested of crimes but not convicted, and, in certain circumstances, for persons convicted of a juvenile crime, a misdemeanor, or a minor felony offenses. Especially for convictions, most states require that the offense is a first-time offense and most states require a waiting period.
