EXPUNGEMENTS
991(c) and Section 18 Criminal Expungements, Protective Order Expungements
An expungement is the process of sealing or altering criminal and related records that may currently be viewable to the public. These records include court records, OSBI records, law enforcement records, and records which may be viewable on a background check. Expungements have many benefits including improving one's employment opportunities and allowing one to deny that an expunged criminal incident ever occurred when asked. To see if you qualify, call us for a free consultation.
PARDONS
Application and Representation before the Pardon and Parole Board
A pardon is the process in which the Governor of the State of Oklahoma can grant forgiveness for a crime committed by an individual. Although a pardon does not erase one's criminal record it can allow an otherwise ineligible citizen to apply for an expungement once the pardon is granted. Before the Governor decides whether to grant a pardon or not, one must apply and seek recommendation from the Pardon and Parole Board. Call us for a free consultation to further discuss the process and eligibility.
