Fort Worth Criminal Expunction and Non-Disclosure Lawyer
Expunctions and Non-Disclosures
If you have a criminal record you may find it difficult to obtain or find a job, housing, educational opportunities, business and personal loans, and many professional licenses. Regardless of whether you were charged with a crime recently or years ago, the stigma associated with an arrest or conviction on your record will have long-term consequences that will limit your opportunities.
Under Texas law, a citizen arrested, charged and/or convicted of a criminal offense may, under certain circumstances, be permitted to clear their record through the process of expungement. Normally, a person that has been arrested, charged and/or convicted of a crime is subject to their criminal record being made public and openly available for the general public to access and review. However, if you meet the legal requirements for the expunction of your criminal record, you will be able to legally state that you were never arrested, charged or convicted for the crime in question.
If you do not meet the legal requirements for an expunction but have successfully completed a deferred adjudication probation, you may qualify for a non-disclosure order. Under Texas law, a citizen that has completed a deferred adjudication for a crime may qualify to have their case results and details blocked or severely limited from public and/or government access and scrutiny.
If you are looking to put the past behind you and to determine if you meet the legal requirements for an expunction or a non-disclosure order, you need an experienced criminal lawyer familiar with the expunction and non-disclosure process and paperwork. At The Hampton Law Firm, I will review your criminal record, determine if you meet the legal requirements for an expunction or non-disclosure and answer any questions you may have regarding the process.
