Sealing Criminal Records

Denver Criminal Records Attorney

Outdated laws used to prevent you from sealing your criminal conviction.  That meant that a conviction — even for something that may have been a minor mistake or lapse of judgment — labeled you as a “criminal” forever.  This hurts your chances at getting a job, supporting yourself and your family, even buying a house or a car, or getting a loan to start a business. However, new “increased eligibility” statutes are helping you take back control of your future, freeing you of having a “permanent record.” In addition to being able to seal arrests and dismissals that did not result in permanent criminal convictions, you now may be able to seal prior criminal convictions.

The Colorado Defense Bar has worked with legislators to repeal and change past laws that prevented you from sealing your prior convictions from public view. Statutes have changed quite a bit the last several years. New changes in the law may allow you to even seal certain felony convictions that could not be sealed before.
