Delaware County Community College paralegal students, under the supervision of LASP attorneys, will assist individuals from Greater Philadelphia to determine whether they are eligible to have certain prior arrests or convictions expunged or sealed.
Having one’s criminal record expunged refers to removing certain offenses from a person’s record. Please note that in some instances, certain convictions cannot be expunged and will remain on the record. However, these same convictions could possibly be sealed from the general public.
Expungement is available for:
Non-conviction dispositions (charges were dismissed, withdrawn, nolle prossed, not guilty, etc.).
ARD/Section 17 if you have completed all of the requirements.
Summary convictions if you have five subsequent years free from arrest.
Summary convictions if you were under 18 at the time of the offense, are now over 18 AND six months have passed since you completed the sentence and paid the fine.
Misdemeanor and felony convictions if you are 70+ years old and have a 10-year arrest-free period since the end of your sentence (including probation or parole).
If acquitted on all charges, expungement is automatic.
Please note that due to the location of individuals’ criminal records, such as Philadelphia and/or outside of Pennsylvania, participants may be referred to another legal organization for assistance.
