Don’t let your past define your future. A criminal record can follow you long after your case is over, impacting your ability to get a job, rent an apartment, or apply for professional licenses. We help individuals take control of their future by clearing or sealing eligible criminal records. In Illinois, individuals with specific types of criminal history may be eligible to expunge or seal their records, removing the information from public view and limiting who can access it.

We assist with:

• Expungements

  If your case resulted in a dismissal, supervision, or was never prosecuted, you may qualify for full expungement. This means your record is removed from public access and erased from most background checks.

• Record Sealing

  Even if you were convicted, Illinois law allows certain felony and misdemeanor convictions to be sealed, keeping them hidden from the general public while remaining available to law enforcement. Sealing can help restore your privacy and open new opportunities for employment and housing.

• Petition Preparation & Filing

  We handle every step of the process: determining eligibility, gathering court records, preparing and filing your petition, and appearing at your hearing if required.
