Learn More About Clearing Your Record Through An Expungement

An expungement is a civil action that seeks to completely remove or seal records of your previous criminal arrests or convictions from the eyes of the public. Even in cases where you were found not guilty of accusations against you, an employer may be able to see a record of your arrest. To protect yourself from embarrassment and keep your prior arrest information private, contact Goldberg Dowell & Associates in Cleveland. We have over 55 years of experience defending clients’ privacy and helping them move their life forward in a positive direction.

Can I Get My Record Of Misdemeanor Offenses Expunged?

In the state of Ohio, our lawyers may be able to seek expungement for our clients with a record of arrest for a misdemeanor charge. These cases may include drug-related crimes, some sexual-related offenses, DUIs and more. However, under state law, the following offenses typically cannot be expunged:

  • Voyeurism
  • Prostitution
  • Public indecency
  • Forfeiture of bail in a traffic case
  • Some motor vehicle offenses
  • First-degree misdemeanors except for rioting, assault and inducing panic
  • Crimes where the victim of a first-degree misdemeanor was under the age of 18

Call our firm to speak to a lawyer and determine if your criminal record, including some felony charges, may be eligible for expungement under Ohio state law.
