“Don’t let your past arrest record handcuff your future career.” – Jordan M. Copeland, Alabama Expungement Lawyer

As an Alabama Expungement Lawyer we talk to many people every week that wish you could go back and change the past. Under the first 2014 Alabama Expungement Law and now the new 2021 Alabama Expungement Law you may be able to expunge or clear your criminal record of eligible charges. Don’t let your past arrest hold you back, your new and clear future awaits you!

THE EXPUNGEMENT LAW IN ALABAMA IS VERY IMPORTANT

Have you ever heard that your arrest record can follow you for your whole life? Many people do not realize that in Alabama even if your prior charge was dismissed, nolle prossed, “no billed” by a grand jury, you were found “not guilty” at a jury or judge trial, or any other form of non-conviction – your arrest records still show that you were arrested for the charge and can appear on certain background checks UNLESS you successfully receive an Order of Expungement from the proper court in Alabama. Without an expungement in Alabama, your record of arrest will show up on law enforcement records and background checks. You could be turned down by potential employers, auto and home lenders, colleges and many more. Even if you were arrested by mistake, charges were dropped, or you were found “Not Guilty.” Most employers will conduct a background check when considering your job application. Don’t let the record of an arrest cause your application to be denied.

“Don’t let your past arrest handcuff your future career.” Just think, without an expungement, every time you fill out a job application your potential employer can see you were arrested in Alabama on a criminal background check. Your current employer may do a background check on you and see your past criminal record. Don’t get passed up for the promotion you’ve been working so long and hard for because you did not get your arrest record in Alabama expunged. If you are applying for a job position, you need to have your arrest wiped clean in Alabama if you qualify, so you will stand out as an applicant for the position.

Your job position, what vehicle you drive, where you live, what college or university you will get accepted to, may all depended upon what is found in your background check. You may be trying to get a loan to buy your first car or truck or even one for your teenager. If you are applying for a certificate or license, the process for your approval can take much longer or be denied. Whether you are needing to get your first apartment, a starter home for your new family or the house you have always dreamed of, it can all be affected by your criminal arrest record.

Mr. Copeland and his staff were able to successfully complete the goals for which I obtained him as my attorney. He responded promptly to all my questions and kept me updated throughout the process. I would recommend him to anyone seeking successful representation.

Mr. Jordan Copeland is the best attorney in the world & his assistant Brandi is a earthly Angel. For years I dealt with the humiliation of my past transgressions haunting me and I wanted it all to just go away. I was a little afraid of hiring an attorney in Alabama because I live in a different state and I felt there would be some communication barriers. Thank God I was wrong!!! Mr. Copeland stayed in constant communication with me, gave me weekly updates, and met all the deadlines. Mr. Copeland is a man of integrity and I will always be thankful for his nonjudgmental attitude, willingness to help, and going above and beyond while exceeding my expectations. He is the best Alabama has to offer and you would be making a mistake if you didn’t hire him.

Mr. Jordan was so courteous and professional. He answered every question I had in the most understandable ways possible. I can not thank him enough for taking on something so huge for me, and on top of that, in a totally different area of the state than he is in! 10/10 recommend! I will always be thankful for his help!

I am very pleased with Jordan and his level of professionalism. He is a straight shooter, and does not make promises he can’t deliver. He went out of his way to work with me on a very time sensitive matter. He is extremely responsive and was willing to explain in detail any questions that I asked. He went above and beyond to represent me, especially given all of the covid-19 restrictions. I am truly impressed and I couldn’t recommend a better lawyer. The case was granted in our favor! Again, I can’t express enough how grateful I am to Jordan and his staff!

From the very first call I made, having to leave a voicemail at that because I called before the office opened, without delay, Jordan contacted me back asap. He was a great listener, and after he was done listening, he went to work. If you're looking for a man that will represent you well, keep you updated with every piece of info, and work diligently to assist you...Jordan Copeland is the man - for you!

I am pleased at the professionalism displayed by this firm. I reached out to them in July 2019 and received my initial results in August the same year. Not sure if it was their expeditiousness, attention to detail or by the Grace of God, but the process went quick and seamlessly. They kept me well informed throughout the entire time. Brandi, the paralegal was always available to explain in detail any questions or concerns I may have had. As long as you provide them the necessary information in a timely manner they will do their part. Once they draw up the paperwork its up to the courts to make the final judgement.

Jordan was there with answers for my questions every step of the way, and the whole process was relatively painless. Thanks again for helping me get my ducks in a row.

Jordan Copeland provided excellent council. He guided me through the entire pardon process at the end of which I received an unrestricted pardon. I don't think I could've done it with out him, especially not in under 2 years. Over the course of our business arrangement I have grown to appreciate Jordan as more of a friend rather than just my attorney. My family and I are eternally grateful for the service that he provided me.

You'll not find a better Expungement Lawyer in the state of Alabama. I was surprised to learn that my entire record was able to be expunged. His prices were beyond competitive and I would definitely recommend him to anyone considering expungement in this state. Most lawyers you go to handle divorce, criminal, civil, probate and some other stuff. But Jordan does only expungement work as a career. So he knows his stuff. Awesome guy and is upfront about everything including the cost. 5-Star!!!!!!!
