Oregon Record Expungement Attorney
The hardest part of being convicted of a crime can be the lasting impact it can have on your life. A criminal record can make it difficult to find employment, housing, and to qualify for various government benefits.
However, in Oregon certain crimes are eligible for a process called “expungement.” Expungement removes your criminal record from public and private view and frees you from the harmful consequences of having a criminal record. If you qualify and complete this process, your arrest and conviction will be treated as if they never happened. In Oregon, this process is known as “setting aside” your arrest or conviction.
If you’ve been convicted or arrested in Oregon and are interested in clearing your record, contact the Law Office of Casey Kovacic for a free consultation. During this consultation we will review your record and determine if you are eligible to apply for expungement. We will walk you through the process of expungement and submit the paperwork to the court.
