A past arrest or conviction shouldn't define your future. Our attorneys help eligible individuals clear their records and move forward.
An expungement seals or destroys your criminal record, making it unavailable to most employers, landlords, and the general public. West Virginia has significantly expanded its expungement laws in recent years, and many people who were previously ineligible may now qualify. Our expungement lawyers evaluate your record, determine what relief is available, and handle the entire petition process on your behalf.
West Virginia law allows for the expungement of certain misdemeanor convictions, first-offense felony convictions for qualifying offenses, arrests that did not result in conviction, charges that were dismissed, and records from deferred adjudication programs. The waiting periods and eligibility requirements vary depending on the offense. We analyze your specific record and tell you honestly what options are available.
A criminal record can follow you for decades — showing up on background checks, limiting job opportunities, affecting housing applications, and creating unnecessary barriers to moving forward with your life. An expungement removes those barriers. Many of our clients describe the expungement process as one of the most meaningful legal steps they have ever taken. We are proud to help people access this relief and build the future they deserve.
We represent clients throughout the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia and surrounding areas.
