A lot of people have made simple mistakes and now find out that those mistakes are causing them trouble with employment, housing, and even sometimes financial situations. If you were charged with a criminal case that was eventually dismissed, not charged or resulted in you entering into a deferred judgment and sentence, or you were convicted as a juvenile you might be entitled to ask a court to seal that criminal record. If you need the assistance of an attorney in sealing a criminal record in Colorado then call the Law Office of Alvin Brown Today!

Colorado allows people to ask the court to seal certain criminal records and cases. The process of sealing a criminal record requires the filing of a new case. This is a civil case and you are asking a judge to look at your case and determine whether or not the public has a great enough interest in keeping this information on your record. Once the petition to seal is filed there is an opportunity for the prosecution or other interested parties to object to the court action. Many times a hearing is necessary before a judge will make a decision on whether or not to seal your criminal record.

If you are looking to seal a criminal record then call Criminal Defense Attorney Alvin Brown at 719-329-0391. I can assist you in figuring out if your case is one in which you are entitled to apply to have the courts seal your record and represent you throughout the proceedings including the hearing.

Even though law enforcement and the court system will still be able to see your sealed records, you can stop potential employers and others conducting public records searches from having access to this sometimes embarrassing information.
