Re: Record

With a felony committed in Illinois that you did prison time on, you are not eligible to have that record expunged and sealed. I have successfully petitioned the Governor of Illinois for a pardon for a burglary that was not quite as old as yours. The only way to have your record cleared at this point is through a governor's pardon. If you wish to talk about this further, please call 630-965-8280.
