Criminal Record ExpungementLenore Suhanec2024-04-13T17:14:12-04:00
If you’ve been arrested in Bucks County or Montgomery County and the charges were dismissed or withdrawn, you will still have an arrest record. In addition, if you are a first-time offender who successfully completed the ARD Program, you may still have an arrest record. You need a Criminal Record Expungement.
Anarrest record can haunt you for the rest of your life, even if you’ve never been charged or convicted. Your job prospects, educational opportunities and housing options can all be hindered if you have to say “yes” when asked if you have ever been arrested.
An expungement wipes your slate clean and allows you to truthfully state “no” to that perilous question.
