No matter what the circumstances surrounding criminal charges, they are not mistakes that someone would want to follow them around for life. This is why the state has allowed certain situations where a person can apply to have their charges erased from the public record, or Expunged.
Do I Qualify for Expungement?
- You had a Misdemeanor Conviction When Under Age 18
- You had a Misdemeanor Possession of Alcohol Under Age 21
- You had either Deferred Prosecution, Charges Dismissed or Not Guilty
- Charges against you were Dismissed or Not Guilty Because a Victim of Identity Theft

Set up your appointment to meet with someone at the Dummit Law Firm to help you begin the expungement application process. Your attorney will walk you through the process and begin working with you on the Checklist of what you need to provide.
Expungement Checklist
Once the application has been completed, and the Order entered by a judge, the order is sent to the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI), where a number of checks and investigations are performed. The SBI could take as little as 2 months, or as long as 6 months before verifying the order of expungement.
Then What?
What Happens After the Expungement is Finalized?
