Case Results
CHARGE: Voluntary Manslaughter/Death
OUTCOME: Record Sealed
Our client was convicted over 25 years ago for killing his wife after a heated altercation. Although he completed his sentence, was able to get his life together and embark on a successful career, his record always came up and was a constant burden. He was ashamed that the public, his employer, friends, and family knew of his case. The State’s Attorney aggressively objected to sealing the record. By being prepared and after a lengthy hearing, the Court agreed with us that our client deserved a second chance and sealed his record.
CHARGE: Felony Bank Theft
OUTCOME: Record Sealed
What started as a temporary loan from the vault, ended up with my client stealing over $25,000. We filed a petition to seal the record, and the State strongly objected against the record being sealed. After carefully preparing our client, creating and submitting a stellar mitigation packet to the Court, we were able to convince the judge that our client was worthy of redemption, and there was no need for his conviction to be public anymore.
CHARGE: Retail Theft
OUTCOME: Record Expunged
Our client had several retail theft cases at various courthouses. We filed a Petition to Expunge each case. We submitted a mitigation packet to the State’s Attorney and the Court, and were able to convince the judge that our client had changed her life and needed to get her record expunged in order to enter the nursing field.
CHARGE: Drug Trafficking/Delivery
OUTCOME: Record Sealed
Many years ago, our client was arrested and convicted for trafficking several pounds of illegal drugs. After serving his time, he entered into the financial world, which required several licenses. His record was not allowing him to expand his business relationships in the financial world because he was unable to pass a criminal background check and get certain state and federal licenses. With his record sealed, he is now able to further pursue his business interests without any fear.
CHARGE: Felony Residential Burglary
OUTCOME: Record Expunged
Our client was arrested for breaking into a residence. He was placed on qualified probation and avoided going to jail. After the requisite time had passed, we were able to expunge his record. With his record expunged, all the documents and computer data related to his case were destroyed. It’s like his case never happened. He was relatively young when he made that mistake and now will not be burdened with a mistake that he made for the rest of his life.
