Navigating the path to a clean record.
Understanding the Impact
Having a criminal record can significantly impact various aspects of your life, from employment opportunities to housing options and even your personal reputation. Employers conducting background checks may be hesitant to hire someone with a criminal record, and landlords may deny housing based on past convictions. Additionally, the stigma of a criminal record can affect your relationships and self-esteem.
Legal Remedies
Fortunately, Oklahoma law provides options to help mitigate the effects of a criminal record. Expungements seal the record from public view, making it invisible to most background checks. This fresh start can open up new opportunities for employment and housing. Pardons, while not erasing the conviction, can restore certain rights and improve your standing in the community.
Seeking Legal Help
The expungement and pardon processes can be complex, and having an experienced attorney on your side can make a significant difference. An attorney can help determine your eligibility, assist with paperwork, and represent you in court or in front of the pardon and parole board. Getting started on this process sooner rather than later can help you move forward with a clean slate.
