Important
Meeting the waiting period isn’t the whole test.
Passing our quiz doesn’t guarantee expungement, and that’s exactly why having a lawyer matters. Before a judge grants a Missouri petition, the court must be satisfied on all of these:
- 1Enough time has passed since you completed your sentence.
- 2No new convictions: you haven’t been found guilty of another misdemeanor or felony during the waiting period.
- 3All obligations satisfied, including payment of every fine and any restitution.
- 4No pending charges against you.
- 5Your conduct shows you’re not a threat to public safety.
- 6Expungement serves the public welfare and the interests of justice.
The last two are the points the court weighs most closely, case by case. Showing that expungement serves public safety and the interests of justice is where careful preparation, and a lawyer who knows how your county’s court approaches these petitions, makes the difference.
