Clearing a criminal record can unlock real opportunities.
Get hired without your past holding you back.
Clearing your record removes one of the largest barriers to getting hired. Employers run background checks. A clear record lets you compete on your merits instead of your past.

Stop living in fear of your past.
Criminal record clearing isn't just a legal process. It is closure. Stop worrying every time someone asks about your background. Focus on building the life you want for yourself and your family.

Find out what's possible where you live. Select your state to see available services and eligibility information.
Record clearing looks different in every state. Depending on where your case was filed, relief may include expungement, record sealing, set-aside, dismissal, vacatur, or other court-authorized remedies that reduce public visibility, restore civil and firearm rights, and improve employment and housing opportunities.
Because every state has different laws, timelines, and eligibility rules, we recommend selecting your state above to see the specific options available where your case occurred.
In many cases, yes, but it depends on your conviction and where it happened. States restore firearm rights in different ways: a court petition, a pardon, clearing the conviction, or in some states after a waiting period.
Federal law applies too, so both need to line up. We review your situation and explain the options that fit it.
We take cases in the states where our attorneys are licensed, and we're adding more. Your case is always handled by one of our attorneys licensed in your state, who knows its courts, statutes, and procedures.
To see whether we're taking cases in your state yet, use the "Select Your State" tool above or complete the intake form to get started.
Yes. Clear My Record is Knowles Law Firm, PLC. Our attorneys do the legal work on every case: they review your record, choose the strategy, draft and file your motions and petitions, and handle any court appearances.
Everything around that work, from gathering court records to preparing paperwork and tracking deadlines, runs on a process built for record clearing. That is how we keep your fee flat and low.
Eligibility depends on your state, the type of offense, whether it was a felony or misdemeanor, how the case was resolved, and whether all sentencing terms were completed.
We offer a limited-scope eligibility review, where one of our attorneys prepares a formal eligibility report and legal strategy before you move forward with filing any motions. This allows you to understand your options before committing to full representation.
We offer flat-fee pricing. That means once you receive a quote for the agreed-upon legal service, that price does not increase based on how long the process takes.
Because every record and every state is different, your price depends on the number and type of convictions and the relief you need.
Yes. We understand that legal services can feel expensive, especially when you are trying to move forward with your life. We offer payment plans and structured payment options so you can begin the process without paying the entire amount upfront.
Our goal is to make professional legal representation accessible while maintaining quality and compliance with state law.
Timelines vary significantly by state and by court. Some cases move in a few months, while others may take longer depending on court backlog, prosecutor response time, and statutory waiting periods.
Once retained, your attorney will outline expected timelines based on your specific jurisdiction.
The effect of record clearing depends on the type of relief granted and the laws of your state. In many cases, the record is removed from public view or hidden from standard background checks.
Your attorney will explain exactly what relief accomplishes in your state before filing.
Having multiple convictions does not automatically disqualify you. In many states, relief can be requested for multiple cases, though strategy and eligibility may differ depending on the circumstances.
During your eligibility review, your attorney will evaluate each case and recommend the most effective approach.
Some states provide self-help forms, but record clearing laws can be technical and vary widely. Mistakes in filing, eligibility analysis, or procedural compliance can delay or prevent relief.
You don't have to. Our attorneys draft and file your petition and handle any hearing, for a flat fee you know up front.
