LACKAWANNA COUNTY CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYERS

Expunging Your Criminal Charges In Pennsylvania

A criminal conviction does not have to permanently affect your future. Through the expungement process, you may be able to seal your record in PA, making it so certain crimes do not appear to future employers, landlords, or loan officers.

There are, however, a few requirements:

  • If you were convicted of a juvenile offense in PA, your record can be sealed when you turn 18.
  • Expungement in Pennsylvania only applies to summary offenses. You cannot have been convicted for a felony.
  • You have satisfied all the terms of your arrest.
  • You have not been re-arrested for five years.
  • You are over 70 years old and have not been arrested for 10 years.
  • Second-degree misdemeanors can only be expunged if committed when you were under 25 years old.
  • Third-degree misdemeanors can only be expunged if you have no record of arrest for 7 to 10 years.

In addition, certain crimes cannot be expunged.

What Does A Defense Lawyer Do?

Your defense lawyer will attempt to get your case thrown out if there is a lack of evidence or might get you a plea deal to have your charges lowered. A defense lawyer acts as an advocate responsible for protecting their client’s rights and establishing the best argument for your case.
