Frequently Asked Questions About Expungement*

WHY SHOULD I EXPUNGE OR SEAL MY RECORD? Today, more than ever, criminal records are easily accessible by employers, landlords and the general public. Your background may be used to discriminate against you in employment, housing, education and your social life. Youthful mistakes, misunderstandings, problems in the past or criminal identity theft should not be a barrier to opportunities in life. In Illinois, there are multiple options you can use to either clear your record or allow you to overcome legal barriers created by your record. Expunge Illinois, through the law offices of A.S. Durrani, Attorney-at-Law, can provide affordable help to clear your record.
WHAT IS EXPUNGEMENT? Expungement, with limited exceptions, virtually erases your criminal record. In Illinois, ALL dismissals can be expunged, as well as satisfactorily completed supervisions (except DUI's/sex offenses where the victim is under 18/minor traffic offenses) and satisfactorily Qualified Probations (also known as 710-1410, TASC or Second Chance Probation.) NOTE: Arrests or convictions for minor traffic violations (Class C Misdemeanors and below) are neither eligible nor do they affect your right to expunge.
As of June 25, 2019: If you received a misdemeanor or Class 4 Felony cannabis-related conviction prior to June 25, 2019, you may be eligible to vacate any such conviction and get it expunged. WHAT IS SEALING? If you are not eligible to expunge a case, misdemeanor sealing hides your record from the vast majority of employers as well. Felony sealing hides your records from MOST employers.
EFFECTIVE AUGUST 2017: In Illinois, a sealing may be available for persons receiving convictions/supervisions for ALL MISDEMEANORS AND FELONIES EXCEPT: 1) Domestic Battery/Violation of Order of Protection crimes, 2) Animal Cruelty; 3) Sex offenses (Except Prostitution/Indecent Exposure;) 4) DUI's or 5) a conviction for which you are still required to register with the Violent Offender Against Youth Registry.
WHAT IS EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY? In Illinois, ANY conviction may, if pardoned by the Governor, be eligible for expungement. You can also get all civil rights and firearms rights restored with a pardon. In order to do so, you must file a Petition for Executive Clemency and may need to appear before the Illinois Prisoner Review Board if you so choose. WHAT IS A HEALTH CARE WAIVER? Aside from doctors and nurses, those seeking to work in Illinois hospitals or health care facilities cannot have certain convictions [which cannot be expunged] on their criminal background. A Health Care Waiver can give you the right to work at such places. WHAT IS A CERTIFICATE OF GOOD CONDUCT? This is an option for people who have convictions [which cannot be expunged] that bar employment in certain fields. While the Certificate of Good Conduct does not expunge or seal the record, it is potentially useful when you are otherwise fully qualified for a job, but face a statutory barrier to employment. Moreover, a person may have records not eligible to expunge or seal that may be eligible for a Certificate of Good Conduct.
WHAT IS A CERTIFICATE OF RELIEF FROM DISABILITIES? This is an option for people who have convictions [which cannot be expunged] that bar state agencies from issuing licenses (such as a Real Estate License, Cosmetologist etc.) While the Certificate of Relief does not guarantee the issuance of a license, it does remove the statutory barrier to licensure.
I HAVE A FELONY CONVICTION, IS THERE ANY CHANCE TO CLEAR IT FROM MY RECORD?Now you can SEAL the vast majority of felonies from your background, with exceptions above.
I HAVE A VIOLENT MISDEMEANOR OR FELONY CONVICTION, IS THERE ANY CHANCE TO CLEAR IT FROM MY RECORD?Yes. Illinois law allows you to get most misdemeanor convictions for crimes of violence sealed from your record. This does NOT include convictions for Domestic Battery, Violation of an Order of Protection or Battery to an Unborn Child, Fill out the Consultation Form to find out all of your options, whether it be expungement, sealing or another remedy. *This page is for informational purposes only; it is not meant to be legal advice.
