There are three main steps on how to expunge a criminal record. The first step is to figure out whether or not you might actually be eligible for the expungement. You can usually find all of these requirements on the website for the courthouse. Sometimes this can be difficult to do so an expert might come in handy in this situation. The second step is to file a petition for the expungement. This can happen at the courthouse once you have figured out if you are eligible for the expungement. Then you will get a date for your hearing where you will meet with the judge. The third step is to consider working with an attorney on your case. The attorney will be able to help you to navigate through the process and paperwork of the expungement a lot easier.
