Cincinnati Expungements Lawyer
Clearing Arrests or Convictions from a Criminal Record
At Fox & Scott, PLLC, in Covington, Kentucky, we advise and represent clients in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky who have an arrest or conviction record that they want to clear up. In both Ohio and Kentucky, the process of expungement or criminal record sealing may be used to clear arrests and some convictions from a criminal record.
An expungement may be possible if:
- Charges were dropped against you
- You were acquitted of all charges
- You fulfilled your legal obligations and are now eligible for expungement
If a previous arrest or criminal conviction is preventing you from obtaining work, qualifying for federal financial aid, or otherwise having a negative impact on your future, contact us today for straightforward advice on how our office can help.
Clearing a Criminal Record vs. Sealing a Criminal Record
A common misconception is that expungements will completely wipe your record clean of criminal charges. In reality, expungements only seal the criminal record to the general public. Rental agencies, employers, schools and others will not be able to access information about the charge. However, government employers and police agencies may see your criminal history. In addition, expungement does not completely wipe your record clean, but rather only seals the specific criminal charge.
Other Post-Conviction Remedy Actions
In addition to handling expungements, we also handle criminal appeals for clients who were given an unfair trial and wrongfully convicted of a crime. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling cases in the appellate courts.
