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.

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.
