In fact, a conviction or diversion will remain on your criminal record until you take the steps to clear it. And it remains on file for all future employers and others who want to look it up. The Schoenig Law Firm, LLC in Olathe, Kansas, can help you determine if you are eligible to clear your criminal record through expungement.
Expungement of Most Misdemeanors and Low Level Felony Crimes
There is often the possibility of clearing or sealing your record, which is known as expunging your record or expungement. While there are some crimes that cannot be expunged, most low level felony and misdemeanor convictions can be expunged after a certain period. Diversions also stay on your record until you have them expunged.
With Online Storage, All Records Are Easily Accessible and Public
In many Kansas cites and communities, the court record system has gone paperless. In many communities criminal convictions and diversions appear online on the city's or state's web site. Knowing that your name is up there for anyone to see is a strong argument for seeking expungement.
Attorney Erica Schoenig has considerable understanding of the court systems throughout eastern Kansas, first as a Johnson County prosecutor for more than six years. She can file all the paperwork to help make sure your court record and your police record are expunged. Each town and city has their own rules regarding the process of sealing records.
The law regarding DUI expungement has recently changed. A DUI cannot be expunged from a record unless the DUI was received prior to July 1, 2006.
Another reason to seek expungement is if you are pulled over for a minor traffic violation or any other matter, if the police see that you have been arrested before or that you have a prior record, they are far more inclined to question you longer or ask to search your car for something that will result in your arrest.
