Expungement is the legal process of asking a court to remove or seal your criminal record from public view. Once granted, most employers, landlords, and background check companies will no longer see the record.
Once expunged, your record is hidden from most employers, landlords, and background check services. Law enforcement and certain agencies may still access sealed records in limited situations (e.g., security clearance, immigration, professional licensing).
No. Most people can file on their own. Clean Slate Docs prepares and files your paperwork. A licensed attorney reviews your petition for compliance, but they do not represent you in court or provide legal advice.

Yes. Expungement removes most records from employer background checks, which makes it easier to pass screenings for new jobs, promotions, or professional licenses.
In many states, yes. You may be eligible to clear multiple offenses at once, depending on the type and how long it has been. Our FREE Eligibility Check helps you see if your cases qualify.
Clean Slate Docs is a professional document preparation service that assists individuals in preparing and filing expungement petitions. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice, opinions, or representation. Our services are limited to administrative and clerical support, including organizing information provided by the client and preparing forms for filing based on publicly available instructions.eli
Eligibility for expungement is determined by state law and can depend on factors such as the type of charge, how much time has passed since the case was resolved, and whether all court-ordered requirements were completed. Some records may not qualify for expungement under certain laws.
👉 Start with our FREE Eligibility Check to see if you qualify.
If your petition is denied, the court will explain the reason (such as eligibility issues or missing documents). In some cases, you may be able to refile when circumstances change or after correcting the issue. Courts have the final say on whether an expungement is granted. While we cannot guarantee any outcome, our role is limited to preparing and filing paperwork based on the information you provide.
👉 Get started now — most clients finish intake in under 10 minutes.
Average processing takes about 3–6 months, depending on the state and court backlog. It may take longer if objections are filed or a hearing is required.
Providing incomplete or incorrect details may cause delays or denial of your petition. Refunds are not available if your case is rejected because of inaccurate or missing information. To avoid this, our team reviews all details with you before filing.
Most cases don’t require a court appearance. However, if a hearing is scheduled, you must attend. Clean Slate Docs can connect you with an independent attorney through a separate agreement if you need representation.
We file electronically through state-specific e-filing systems where available (NJ eCourts, MD MDEC, IL eFileIL, MI MiFILE, OH OEDS). Paper filing is used if electronic filing is not available.
Our flat fee is $498, which includes document preparation and most court filing fees. If additional fees are required by your county or state, we’ll notify you before filing.
Yes. Our refund policy is based on the services we provide.
Refunds are not available if the issue is caused by incorrect or incomplete information you provide, missing documents, missed deadlines, or failure to attend a required court hearing.
We use secure systems and restrict access to authorized staff only. Your data is never sold or shared outside what is required for your expungement.
Within Clean Slate Docs, only authorized staff and contracted attorneys working on your petition have access. Your petition is also shared with the court and relevant agencies as required by law.
Records are securely stored until the case is complete and then archived in accordance with legal and internal retention policies.
Once the court grants your expungement, a certified order is issued and sent to the necessary agencies. We confirm that the court has processed your case. If your record still appears on private background check sites, we’ll provide follow-up guidance, but we cannot directly control third-party websites.
