Fort Collins, Colorado, Expungement Lawyer
Many years after your case has ended, a criminal case can continue to have an impact on your life. This criminal matter can eliminate you from consideration for certain jobs. It may prevent admission to some schools and colleges. It can harm your career. Some find their record to be a source of embarrassment and regret that is always present and never goes away.
If you successfully completed a deferred sentence or deferred judgment and are wondering if you can clear your criminal record through expungement, call me, attorney David H. Johnson. I have years of experience handling criminal defense and expungement matters for clients in and around Fort Collins and Greeley.
Though your options may seem limited, if your case was dismissed there is a possibility of expunging your criminal record. Even certain low-level drug convictions and arrests can now be expunged. After obtaining an expungement, you can truthfully state that you have never been arrested or convicted of the expunged offense on a job application.
· Obtaining an expungement has many benefits. It can clear the way for career advancement or entrance into a college or university. It can also help you close the books on an event better forgotten, and enable you to look forward, rather than back.
· Not all types of crimes in Colorado can be expunged or sealed. Colorado Revised Statutes §24-72-308 and §24-72-308.5 set forth the requirements for expungement.
· If you believe you qualify to seal your record, contact me immediately. After an expungement order, or order to seal a criminal record is issued by the court, you need not disclose your arrest or conviction, barring some extremely limited exceptions.
· Do you have a Minor in Possession of Alcohol or Underage Consumption ticket? I can also handle issues of sealing underage consumption tickets, Colorado Revised Statute §18-13-122,(10) sets forth these requirements. I have represented many Colorado State University students in these types of cases.
