Prepare expungement questions before you contact legal aid
Record-clearing rules are state-specific. The goal is to arrive at legal aid with the facts they need.
Checklist
- List each charge, county, case number, disposition, sentence, probation, fines, and completion date.
- Separate arrest-only records, dismissals, convictions, juvenile records, and sex-offense or violent-offense flags.
- Check waiting periods, unpaid fines, and automatic clean-slate rules for your state.
- Ask legal aid or the court clerk which forms and clinics are available locally.
- Use the tool to build a question list and next-step plan.
