Expungement

Expungement

How can something that “won’t go on your record” end up on your record?

Maybe you were arrested, but never formally charged?  When you took that plea for supervision were you told that it would not go on your record?  How about going to trial and being found not guilty?  Are you having a problem finding a job because an old legal issue that should not be causing you problems keeps popping up?

It may be because you have a record of some sort.  There may not be a conviction on your record, but there is a record out there.  Illinois law allows some people with limited records to have their records expunged or sealed. Are you one of them?

The office of the Illinois State Appellate Defender has some excellent resources explaining how to expunge or seal your record.  Included are the qualification guidelines as well as some forms to use.  You may also choose to have a lawyer help you through this process.

Matthew J. Haiduk is experienced in petitions to expunge and seal criminal records.  He has previously volunteered at the Cabrini Green Legal Aid Expungement Help Desk and has helped clients in private practice.  Call Haiduk now to discuss helping your future by clearing your  past.

Worrying isn’t going to help your problems.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Are you Going to Jail?
Most defendants with good lawyers avoid incarceration. It's impossible to say specifically about your case, however, without a lot more information (ie. your background, the strength of the case against you, the judge, etc.)  Call for a free consultation if you want a more accurate answer.
Will this ruin my life?
There is always that risk with anything other than a minor infraction. Most people with good attorneys manage to navigate the system with good results and little-to-no long term effects.
How long will this take?
What's best for your case? If the best result comes with moving fast, we can file a "speedy trial" demand and pressure the prosecutors. However, their case against your may get worse with time, and in that circumstance you may not want to rush.
It's important that you have an experienced attorney who knows when to move quickly, and when to slow things down.
Do you take payments?
Yes. Many clients are on a regular and consistent payment plan, and that works out just fine.
Haiduk Law, P.C. accepts cash, credit cards, Venmo, PayPal and Zelle payments.
