No one wakes up begging for a criminal record.

But it happens.

Sometimes it could be a mistake, or lapse in judgment, or other times you think you just won’t get caught.

If you get charged with a crime, regardless of the outcome, you’ll still end up with a criminal record.

Even if your case is dropped, dismissed, or you are found not guilty at trial, your name will still appear in criminal record searches.

But you can wipe the slate clean by having your record sealed or expunged.

Unfortunately, a lot of people don't understand the difference between the two.

In today's video, Criminal Defense Attorney Hannah Akintoye explains the difference between getting a record expunged vs. sealed.

To find out if you qualify for an expungement or record sealing, call us today at (202) 8583093 to speak to a qualified expungement lawyer.
