Expungement in Alabama – Polson & Polson, P.C.
Expungement Defined
Expungement serves as a sort of a clean up of your criminal record, whereby any information regarding your arrest and any subsequent court proceedings are sealed. Legislation passed in 2014 makes this process more widely available to individuals throughout Alabama. If you are granted an expungement, this information will not be visible in any criminal databases, including those managed by the federal government at the FBI.
Is Your Case Eligible?
Not all cases are eligible for expungement in Alabama. In fact, if you were found guilty of either a misdemeanor or a felony charge, you may not seek an expungement.
