Expungements — Clearing Your Record
An expungement is the process of clearing your criminal record of certain past convictions and arrests. A successful expungement removes the crime from your record as if it never happened. There are several requirements that must be fulfilled before your criminal record can be cleared of a crime, but the benefits you gain make it well worth it.
Expungements require that a motion be filed and sometimes even having a hearing held with the court. Attorney Neptune can file all necessary documents and represent you at the hearing.
Perhaps the single greatest advantage to clearing your criminal record is regaining the ability to answer "no" to questions relating to certain criminal convictions and arrests on job applications.
Probation Violations
Violating your probation can have some very serious consequences. Depending on the severity of the violation, you can have your probation extended or revoked or you could be sentenced to jail or prison. If you are facing accusations of probation violation, attorney Neptune will represent you at your hearing and work to reach a favorable outcome in your case.
If the violation involves charges of a new crime, she will investigate the case and build the best possible defense on your behalf. A successful defense against the new charges would negate the probation violation.
Attorney Neptune has also helped clients request early termination of their probation.
