Attorneys in Tarrant County, Texas
Experienced Assistance in Sealing Your Criminal Records
If you have a criminal record, you may find it difficult to find a job or to get the apartment you want. With the easy access to information that the Internet provides, many employers and landlords can quickly and anonymously pull up information about old charges, arrests or convictions. The records they see can be misleading, indicating only that you were arrested, but not providing any of the underlying circumstances. To protect your rights, you want an experienced lawyer, one who knows the laws regarding the sealing of your criminal record and who will give you a realistic assessment of whether you can limit access to that information.

We offer straightforward and affordable counsel when you need help sealing your criminal records. We will give you an honest assessment of your likelihood of success and will never take your case unless we believe you can accomplish your goals.

Counsel to Individuals Seeking to Seal Criminal Records
Under Texas law, sealing your criminal record doesn't mean that it is permanently removed or erased from the books. Certain officials and agencies will still have access, including law enforcement officers, professional licensing agencies (lawyers, doctors, nurses, etc.) and schools. However, private companies will no longer have access to this information because it will not longer be public. Sealing your criminal records can, however, make a big difference when it comes to seeking employment, finding a place to live, or even renting a car. By sealing your criminal records, you prevent the mistakes you made years ago from haunting you today.
When you hire us to help you with the sealing of your criminal record, we will carefully review the details of your arrest, looking for evidence that indicates that a simple record of an arrest creates an unfair impression to prospective employers, landlords or others.
If you want to permanently erase a criminal record, we can help you through the expungement process. See our page on the expunction of your criminal record to learn more.
