An expungement is a legal process through which an arrest or conviction may be erased from a person's criminal record. Many misdemeanors and felonies are eligible for expungement; however, expungement guidelines vary from state to state. After a successful expungement on a conviction for a misdemeanor or felony charge is completed, your conviction(s) will be wiped from your record, giving you a clean slate. This is also referred to as a “setting aside of a criminal conviction.”
There are several obvious benefits to having your criminal records expunged, including: the ability to claim “no criminal convictions” on a job application, increased chances of acquiring credit, ability to vote, ability to rent housing, educational/school eligibility, ability to run for public office, etc. Your file effectively becomes off limits to everyone except law enforcement (law enforcement agencies will still be able to view your history). A criminal record has drastic negative consequences on one’s opportunities, potential career paths, and general quality of life.
