If you have previous arrests and/or convictions in your life and wish to put your past behind you, you may qualify to have such records sealed (i.e., expunged). There are many factors that inform whether you qualify to have a previous arrest and/or conviction erased off your record such as the nature of the offense, the length of time that has passed since conviction, and what you have done during that time, among other things. It is absolutely critical for you to erase any criminal history that you can off your record.
