Who is eligible for a Record Restriction/Expunction of their criminal arrest record?
In order to have your criminal Record Restricted/Expunged, you must meet a few requirements. If you were found not guilty, or the charges were dismissed (nolle prossed) for various reasons, such as the following:
- Completed a Pre-trial Diversion Program which resulted in no criminal conviction.
- Plead guilty under the Conditional Discharge statute.
- Lack of probable cause
- Identity theft
- Wrongful arrest
- Case was dead docketed for twelve (12) months.
- False information
- Lack of evidence – evidence was suppressed resulting in a dismissal.

Why get a Record Restriction/Expunction?
In order to obtain certain jobs,–in schools or with government agency or to gain entrance in military, for instance–you need a clean criminal record. Also, some landlords will also do a criminal background check on prospective tenants. When they look at the record and see “criminal charges,” they usually do not notice the small initials at the bottom that indicate that the charge was dismissed. As a result, they see the prospect tenant as guilty even though he or she was not convicted. With an Record Restriction/Expungement, you get a truly clean slate.
