Understanding Alabama's Expungement Law

In April 2014, Alabama passed a new expungement law that allows people who were charged with a crime but found not guilty or had the charge disposed of in their favor to get their police and court records expunged. At The Self Law Firm, we have studied this law intricately and are prepared to help clients navigate the complex process of expungement and regain their lives.

Expungement is not an automatic process, even for those who meet the eligibility requirements. Filing a new court action is necessary for the expungement to take place. The procedure is highly technical, and therefore, hiring an experienced attorney familiar with both expungement law and criminal defense is crucial. Our attorneys at The Self Law Firm have the knowledge and expertise required to make the process as seamless as possible.
