Shoplifting Defense Lawyer in Dedham MA
Every year thousands of people are arrested and charged with crimes. Some of those individuals will end up with a criminal record and others will not. However, all of those individuals will more than likely, at some point, be eligible to have those records removed from the public files. Most great employment opportunities require a prospective employee submit to a background check to ensure that the person does not have a criminal history. Many people only then learn that there is something negative contained in their background.

Many people do not know that under the laws of Massachusetts their criminal records can be expunged and cleared. The law allows individuals to file a petition for expungement to remove any derogatory information from a person’s record including: complaints, warrants, arrests, rap sheets, photographs and fingerprints. For municipal court convictions a person must wait five years to file an expungement petition. For superior court convictions a person must wait ten years. Arrests and complaints that were dismissed or frivolous can be expunged immediately.
The law in this area is not simple because there are different time frames for different offenses and there are other conditions that may also be required for a person to be eligible for an expungement. Individuals should contact an attorney to discuss the particulars of their case to determine their eligibility. Moreover, the use of the expungement process can assist persons with clearing up their record so that it is not a hindrance to better employment or other significant opportunities in their lives.
