One way or the other, we all make mistakes – it is in the human nature and it is absolutely normal. That is, until your mistakes start to hurt people, who surround you. At times, our mistakes resulted in someone’s injuries or other bad things that are punishable by law.
Of course, it does not necessarily mean that every single criminal is in jail or prison by mistake. It just means that some people deserve to get the benefit of the doubt. Even if they are guilty of something, they may still deserve a second chance – a chance for redemption, a chance to clear their name, a chance that will allow them to return to normal day to day living.
Criminal records in one’s personal history could create plenty of difficulties. After all, very few employers will be happy to hire a person with some kind of criminal records, even if it is only a DUI misdemeanor offense. These records are freely available for everyone, so make no mistake – the company will use its resources to find out everything it can about you – starting with your background and up to the criminal history.
Furthermore, you can forget about getting a loan at the bank – banks are also very thorough when it comes to placing their money in someone else’s hands. Chances are you will not be able to get even a minimal loan, not to mention something a bit more substantial.
Most landlords will not want a person with criminal history to remain in their neighborhood, so there is also that – finding a roof above your head is also becoming gradually more difficult.
However, there is a possibility to get your records expunged. In order to reap all the benefits of criminal expungement, you will need to complete all the conditions and the requirements of your probation. If you have successfully completed your probation, paid all the taxes and fines and are not charged with any additional crimes, there is a chance that your records are going to be expunged from the system and you will get a second chance to start clean.
Still, it is all much easier said than done – in order to get the desired expungement you will first need to prove that you actually deserve it. In order to do that, you will need to seek help from a qualified as well as genuinely experienced legal representative, who will know how to handle the court properly. He will be able to prove that you surely deserve the second chance and that the expungement is good for you. Of course, you will need to comply with everything the court says and first of all – you will need to appear for the court hearing. Expungement can mean the start of new life for you, so do not lose your chance to use it.
