Colorado Record Sealing and Expungement

In Colorado, what most people call “expungement” is legally known as record sealing for adult records. Whether you're searching for expungement or record sealing, you're in the right place. Colorado expungement and record sealing laws have expanded significantly in recent years, making more cases eligible than ever before.

FIND OUT HERE WHETHER YOU MIGHT BE ELIGIBLE.

An arrest or conviction for a criminal offense can have serious negative effects that linger long after the arrest, court proceedings, and any criminal sentence have been resolved.   It is not unusual for a years (or decades)-old criminal matter to continue to appear on public background checks, resulting in lost employment and educational opportunities, denial of housing, and barriers to professional licensing.  

Contrary to many people’s expectations, a criminal matter will not automatically drop from a person’s record after five, seven, ten, or even twenty years.  The only way to have a criminal matter removed from the public record is to obtain a court order from a judge requiring that the case be sealed or expunged.  Colorado sealing laws have undergone significant changes in recent years, with an ever-increasing number of cases now eligible for sealing.  The Law Offices of Joshua Johnson, LLC, has successfully obtained sealing orders from courts in nearly every Colorado county, helping hundreds of clients to pursue employment, housing, and educational opportunities without fear of past mistakes continuing to cast a shadow over their lives.
