Expungement

Expunge of Criminal Record — Eau Claire, WI — Cohen Law Offices, LLC

Having a criminal record can bar you from a lot of opportunities. Even after you have served your time, you may have difficulties getting a job, landlords may look past your rental application and it can be harder than most to qualify for a loan. 


Criminal records are public online so anyone can look you up and see that you had a criminal background. So, how can you get rid of it forever? Expungement of a record means removing the case from the Wisconsin Circuit Court Access website and sealing the court file.

In Wisconsin, a court may expunge your conviction record only if you were under the age of 25 at the time you committed the crime, the crime carried a maximum period of imprisonment of six years or less, and you successfully completed the terms of your sentence. Also, current law mandates that judges make the determination as to whether expungement will be allowed “at the time of sentencing.”


If you have served your time and meet the requirements for Wisconsin, consult an attorney as you begin your process of expungement to ensure the chance for a brighter future with an expunged record. Call Cohen Law Offices today at 715-514-5051.
