Frequently Asked Questions
-----
Do I need an expungement lawyer?
You are not required to have a lawyer, but an expungement lawyer can help determine whether your record qualifies, prepare the petition, address legal objections, and present your case clearly to the court. Expungement can be technical, and mistakes may delay or weaken your request.
-----
Am I eligible to expunge my criminal record?
Eligibility depends on the type of case, outcome, offense level, waiting period, criminal history, and whether you have completed the required sentence or conditions. Some dismissed cases, acquittals, diversion outcomes, stays of adjudication, misdemeanors, gross misdemeanors, and certain felonies may qualify, but eligibility is case-specific.
-----
How soon can I apply for expungement in Minnesota?
The waiting period varies. Some cases may have no waiting period, while others may require one year, several years, or longer depending on the outcome and offense type.
