Does Your Criminal Record Hold You Back? Why an Expungement May be Right for You

Sep30

 

If you have a criminal record, it can hold you back in many ways. For example, getting a job, renting an apartment, or getting approved for a loan can be harder if you have a criminal record. However, an expungement will seal your criminal record from public view, making it easier for you to move on with your life.

An expungement can also make it easier to get a job

Many employers run background checks on job applicants, and a criminal record can be a red flag. If your record is expunged, potential employers will not be able to see it.

An expungement can also help you rent an apartment

Landlords often run background checks on prospective tenants, and a criminal record can be a black mark. If your record is expunged, landlords will not be able to see it.

 An expungement can help you obtain professional licenses

A clean record is necessary in certain professions to obtain or retain a professional license. Industries such as healthcare, education, and finance have stringent requirements for licensure to ensure the integrity and trustworthiness of professionals within those fields. If your record is expunged, landlords will not be able to see it.

Getting an expungement can also help you get approved for a loan

Lenders often run background checks on loan applicants, and a criminal record can make you seem like a risky borrower. If your record is expunged, lenders will not be able to see it.

Take the Next Step Toward Your Future

An expungement is more than just a legal procedure; it’s a vital step towards a brighter future. By clearing your record, you open the door to new opportunities and a chance to rebuild your life and your reputation in the community. Remember, your past does not have to define you.
