Misinformation Surrounding PCR & Record Expungement

There is a lot of misinformation about what options people have for clearing their records. Contrary to popular belief, you cannot get convictions expunged. Record expungement is for expunging arrest records. This can be an extremely useful legal tool for getting your driving privileges reinstated or helping you with employment opportunities.

In order to have a conviction cleared from your record, you need to go through a process known as post-conviction relief (PCR). If successful with a post-conviction relief petition, one can actually have their record of conviction vacated.
