Expungement in Oregon

The term “expungement” refers to the legal process of officially removing criminal convictions from you record. The idea behind expungement is to offer a clean slate to those who have learned from their past mistakes and are wanting to make a fresh start. However, it’s important to note that there are several criteria that you must meet in order to be eligible for expungement. In general, more serious crimes (such as murder or sex crimes) are not eligible for expungement. You’ll also need to show that you haven’t had any other criminal convictions for at least ten years since the initial conviction occurred. You become eligible for an expungement once three years have passed since the conviction. If you are curious about whether you qualify for expungement, reach out to the Law Office of Travis R. Dickey today to get started.
