Expungement of Criminal Records

Expungement of criminal records can be a complex process, and the ability to clean up past criminal convictions depends upon many different factors. The law relating to expunging criminal convictions varies from state to state. In Kansas, a DUI conviction or diversion may be expunged if five years have passed since the applicant completed probation or diversion. It is a civil proceeding filed in the county in which the alleged offense occurred. It is important that you consult with a lawyer that is skilled in matters pertaining to expungement.
