Re: Sealing or expunging of criminal records

No. Basically, if you have been found guilty of more than one criminal charge in your life, then you cannot get any criminal case sealed or expunged. Generally, expungement is only available if they dropped the charges or you were found not guilty and you have no more than one criminal offense. The average criminal expungement costs around $350-500.00. Sorry!
