Commonly Asked Questions

Am I eligible for expungement if I have a juvenile criminal record?

Yes, both adults and juveniles with criminal records may be eligible for expungement. The eligibility criteria for expunging juvenile records are similar to those for adults, which typically include successful completion of probation and not currently being charged with a crime. The Law Office of Thomas F. McKenna can help you understand your options and the specific requirements for expunging juvenile criminal records.

How can an expunged record improve my employment prospects?

An expunged record can significantly improve your employment prospects by removing certain barriers that a criminal record might present. Once a record is expunged, it is no longer necessary to disclose the conviction on most job applications, which can open up a wider range of job opportunities and make it easier to advance in your career. The Law Office of Thomas F. McKenna can advise on how expungement might benefit your individual situation.

Can expunging my record help with housing applications in the Bay Area?

Yes, expunging your record can be beneficial when applying for housing. Landlords often conduct background checks, and a criminal record can be a significant obstacle. An expunged record may not appear on most background checks, increasing your chances of securing housing. The Law Office of Thomas F. McKenna can assist you in understanding how expungement can improve your housing options.
