Criminal Law:
Expungements & Criminal Defense
Everyone deserves a second chance. A past mistake shouldn’t define your future opportunities. That’s why Griffen Law Firm focuses on criminal record expungements – the legal process of sealing or erasing an arrest or conviction from public view. Clearing your record can open doors to employment, housing, and education that a criminal history might otherwise block. We assist eligible adults and juveniles in Baton Rouge, Louisiana with wiping the slate clean and moving forward with a fresh start, guided by our justice-driven belief in redemption and fairness.
What Is An Expungement?
Expungement is the legal process of sealing a criminal record from public view. It provides individuals who’ve been arrested or convicted with a second chance by allowing them to disclose the expunged offense in most circumstances. Expungement laws vary by state and depend on the nature of the offense and the individual’s record.
