Re: Expungment

Hello. A felony conviction cannot be expunged in

Illinois. However, it is possible to seek a pardon from the governor. The prisoner's review

board has to be contacted. A petition must be

prepared and sent to the review board and then

your matter is scheduled for a hearing before

a panel which makes recommendations to the governor as to whether, in its opinion, a person should be granted a pardon from a felony conviction. I will be happy to answer any additional questions that you may have.
