Case Closed... Or is it?

Now you have to clean your record so you can get a better job, find a better house, or get a degree or a license so you can earn a raise.

Below are the most commonly asked quesitons. If we haven't answered your question, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're here to help.

What is the benefit of Expealing my record?

If you have your record sealed or expunged you can legally deny or fail to acknowledge the arrests covered by the Expealed record. That means you can legally say NO when potential employers, landlords, colleges, or anyone else asks if you were arrested.

What is the difference between sealing and expunging my record?

When a record is sealed, the record is closed from public viewing. Only law enforcement agencies can view the record, and even then, it is only under a very special set of circumstances.

When a record is expunged, the record is destroyed - meaning it is as if the arrest never happened! In fact, most states will actually literally shred every single copy they have of your record!

No matter what method of Expealing your state allows - whether it is sealing, expunging, setting aside, or any other term - no one in the general public will be able to see it!

Who qualifies to have their record Expealed?

That all depends on what state you're in and what you have on your record. Take our very quick and free online qualification form to find out if you qualify to have your record sealed or expunged.

What exactly happens when I petition to Expeal my record?

While every state has some small differences, the general process is that we need to first obtain your criminal background history from the state. We take the information from that history and your answers to gather certain documents from the government. While every state will require that you get a certified copy of the disposition - an official copy of what happened in your case - others will require a few additional documents. Regardless of which package you choose - whether it is Forms, Service, or Priority, we will let you know step-by-step everything you need to do to prepare a petition to Expeal!

What does it cost to get my record Expealed?

We are proud to be the ONLY provider of a Flat Fee Guarantee. Whether you choose our Forms package for $99 to do it yourself, or our Service and Priority packages where we will do it for you, we charge one fee and we will never charge you anything extra. Extra charges our competitors charge include court costs, filing fees, postage, and even photocopies. Everything you have to pay for is covered in our flat fee. Simple pricing, no surprises.

What is the difference between Expeal and a lawyer?

Price - lawyers will charge, on average, 3 times what Expeal charges! Lawyers are behind our shield. They did this exact kind of work for years, they saw exactly what lawyers did to successfully erase a person's background. By specializing in this work and taking advantage of technology, we are able to keep our costs to an absolute minimum.

What is the difference between Expeal and online competitors?

Quality and Consistency - perhaps the two most important things when it comes to getting it done right the first time. Many of these companies involve people without any training, they require several instances of communication delaying your application, and often times, make mistakes that require the process to be done more than once!
