What changes?
Clearing a criminal record can unlock real opportunities.
Clearing your record removes the 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.
Landlords routinely deny applications based on criminal history. With a cleared record, you have the freedom to qualify for more housing opportunities.
Many schools and scholarships require background checks. A clear record opens access to college admissions, trade programs, professional licenses, and financial aid you may not have qualified for before.
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.

Good questions
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.
Clear My Record works through local licensed attorneys. When you retain our services, your case is reviewed by an attorney who understands the local courts, statutes, and procedures in your jurisdiction.
To confirm availability and state-specific relief options, use the "Select Your State" tool above or complete the intake form to get started.
Clear My Record works with licensed local attorneys who perform the legal work that only lawyers can do. After retention, a local attorney reviews your case, determines eligibility, develops the legal strategy, and reviews, finalizes, and submits any motions on your behalf.
Our technology and systems streamline the administrative process so you benefit from efficiency and reduced legal fees, while all legal strategy and final decision-making remain in the hands of qualified attorneys in your state.
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 option where a local attorney can create 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, pricing depends on the number and type of convictions and the relief being requested.
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.
Clear My Record combines attorney oversight with streamlined systems so you receive professional legal review without paying traditional full-service law firm pricing.
