No legal jargon, no mystery. Here’s exactly what happens from your first question to a sealed record, and what we handle for you at every step.
You tell us about your charge, when the case ended, and the county. We compare it against Missouri’s expungement statute (RSMo § 610.140), reviewing the offense type, the waiting period, and your record since. We come back to you, usually within one business day, with a straight answer: eligible, not yet, or not eligible.
Once you’re ready, we draft your petition for expungement, gather the case details, and file it with the correct court. We notify every party the statute requires (the prosecutor, the arresting agency, and others) so nothing gets your case delayed or denied on a technicality.
Missouri expungements usually involve a court hearing. In many counties the attorney can appear on your behalf, so you may not need to take time off work or step into a courtroom at all. We prepare everything and tell you exactly what to expect in your county.
When the judge grants your petition, the court orders your record closed to the public. Employers, landlords, and the general public can no longer see the expunged offense, and in most situations you can lawfully say you were never convicted of it.
Expungement is more than filling out a form. Here’s the work that goes into every case, all included in one published price.
We pull the details of your case and confirm it qualifies under current Missouri law.
We draft your petition for expungement, accurately and completely.
We determine every defendant and agency that must be named and notified.
We file in the correct court for your county and case.
We serve the prosecutor, arresting agency, and other required parties.
If a party objects, we respond and argue for your petition.
We prepare the record and, where allowed, appear so you may not have to.
We track the court’s order and confirm your record is sealed.
Most cases resolve within a few months of filing, though it varies by county and court calendar. After your free review we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your specific county, not a vague promise.
Answer a few quick questions and we’ll tell you where you stand, usually within one business day. No cost, no obligation.
