A prior criminal conviction or even an arrest without a conviction can have a bad effect on getting a job and in other important aspects of your life. You may be able to have those records expunged.

Expungement is available for a wide range of criminal convictions including many serious felony convictions. While this does not eliminate use of the expunged record by courts or by law enforcement officials it does limit public access to those records.

Most importantly, expungement gives you the right not to disclose the record to a potential employer and also denies that potential employer access to the records.

William W. Gooden has had substantial experience in obtaining such expungements for his clients.

It usually requires one brief court appearance by the client.

A phone call is all that is required to determine your eligibility for an expungement. As always no fee is charged for that initial consultation.
