Sealing of Criminal Records

If ever arrested, you may now realize that the criminal arrest record (police and court) arising from your arrest can cause you problems in employment, housing, and other situations when a Colorado criminal background check is done. Even if you received a withhold of adjudication and were not convicted, the criminal record may still be causing you problems.

If you qualify, sealing or expunging your criminal arrest (police and court) records is a low cost way of improving your life. Once the sealing or expungement of your Colorado criminal record is granted by the court, the withhold of adjudication or dismissal of your felony, misdemeanor, or other criminal charge will no longer be available as a public record as it will be sealed or expunged. Also, if you seal or expunge the Colorado criminal record, you gain the LEGAL right to deny or fail to acknowledge anything to do with the arrest and the legal proceedings from the case itself. For more information on seal or expunge, please review our Sealing and Expungement Frequently Asked Questions page. If you are a qualified applicant for the sealing or expungment of your Colorado criminal record, contact our criminal defense team at Elkus & Sisson, P.C. today.
