Montgomery County Lawyer Helping Individuals Obtain A Sealed Record

You can clear your criminal record for certain felonies and misdemeanors by means of expungement. To have your record sealed in Maryland, you must file a petition that meets one of the following statutory requirements:

  • You were acquitted
  • The charges were dismissed
  • A probation before judgment has been entered
  • A nolle prosequi has been entered
  • The criminal charge has been marked stet
  • A charge of assault has been dismissed pretrial
  • The case was transferred to juvenile court
  • You have been convicted of only one criminal act that is not a crime of violence and that has been fully pardoned by the governor

Certain criminal acts, such as a DUI or a domestic violence offense, make you ineligible for expungement. Our attorneys will meet with you to discuss your situation to see if expungement is an option for you. We will review your expungement petition with you to make sure that it conforms to the statutory requirements and will not be denied.
