Criminal Record Expunction
Having an arrest or conviction on your criminal record can affect your ability to find a job, apply for a loan, obtain housing, receive higher education, or own a firearm. In some cases, you may be able to clear your criminal record through expunction. This will permanently remove information from your record, allowing you to receive a fresh start.
BRCK Criminal Defense Attorneys can help you complete the expunction process correctly, ensuring that you meet the requirements to have your criminal record cleared. If expunction is unavailable in your case, we can help you understand your other options, including filing an order for nondisclosure of your record.

“Barrera was my attorney for a criminal and misterminor case. I couldnt ask for a better attorney. At first I was a little nervous because he is a very quiet man, but when he is up there asking questions and cross examination Stephen is amazing and I knew i would be alright.
