St. Louis Expungement Attorney
Expungements of Criminal Records and Convictions
Recent amendments to Missouri law have expanded the list of criminal convictions which can be permanently expunged from someone's criminal record. Prior to these changes, only a conviction for driving while intoxicated or minor in possession of alcohol could be expunged; however, now convictions for some non-violent felonies and misdemeanors can also be expunged from a Missouri criminal record.
Some examples of the convictions which can now be expunged include offenses involving checks, credit cards, burning , property damage, trespass, gambling, peace disturbance, and public drunkenness.
