Expungement Lawyer in Fort Worth

Clear Your Criminal Record Across Texas with Our Help

In today's increasingly connected and information-saturated society, negative information about a person's background is more likely than ever to surface at one time or another. If you were arrested at some point in the past, this information could continue to haunt you and to hurt your chances at various jobs and education-related opportunities. You should know that you may not have to carry this burden forever.

Did you know that you may be eligible to have your arrest record expunged? Texas law grants many individuals the right to close the books on a past arrest so that it no longer hinders their ability to get hired, attend school, take out a loan, or enjoy many other benefits and opportunities that are frequently denied to individuals with criminal records. Rather than let a mistake you made in your past continue to define and damage your present and future, talk to the Fort Worth expungement attorney.

Call today at (817) 349-7118 to learn more about the process and the regulations surrounding expungement in Tarrant County, Texas.

Who Is Eligible for Expungement?

  • In many situations, you could qualify to have your arrest record permanently sealed or cleared entirely.
  • If you were arrested but never convicted, for example, you can probably have your record wiped out or expunged.
  • If you were a juvenile at the time of your arrest, the record can be sealed. The same is true for adult deferred adjudications.
  • If you were arrested and convicted for a Class C misdemeanor or higher offense, you will not be eligible for having the record sealed.

Whether you are looking to take out a loan from a bank, get a new job, rent an apartment, or take out an insurance policy, an arrest record could significantly hurt you. Why not find out if you can have that record cleared? The process is easy with a Fort Worth expungement lawyer on your side. You owe it to yourself and to your loved ones to discover what your options are.

Steps to Expunge Your Record in Texas

To get a misdemeanor expunged in Texas, you must be eligible for expunction and file a Petition for Expunction from with the court your case was originally held. Having a criminal defense attorney can help you with this complex process.

Expungement for Unlawful Carry of a Handgun in Texas

House Bill 1927 was signed into law in June 2021, making it legal for Texans to carry handguns in public without needing a license to do so. 

  • The law also provides expungement for anyone who was convicted for the unlawful carry of a handgun under Penal Code 46.02(a) before Sept. 1, 2021.

Our expungement attorney in Fort Worth can help you with the legal process for expungement if you qualify under House Bill 1927. For more information, get in touch with us today!

What Is the Difference between Expungement & Sealing a Record?

Expungement means that all files regarding your arrest are actually eliminated and removed from all databases. This is a thorough "cleanse" that will effectively make it seem as though the arrest never happened. Sealing a record, on the other hand, is slightly less complete, although still hugely beneficial to the individual.

When sealed, while the record is kept, an order of nondisclosure makes it impossible for any individual to access the record unless certain, extremely specific conditions are met.

Contact the Sloane Law Firm today to set up your meeting with a dedicated Texas expungement attorney who can assist you in this important and exciting process.

    "David was very diligent about my case, and the prosecution did NOT want to argue with him."
    If you get arrested in Texas for anything David is probably going to be your best bet, especially if it is marijuana or DUI related. I am from Florida, and I got popped in Texas with a little over 20 pounds of cannabis, 400 grams of Hash, and an AR-15 type assault rifle. My bail was set at 50,000 dollars, and if convicted, I could have done 20+. I am affiliated with NORML, and heard through a network of people that David would be the right guy for the job, and he was. David was very diligent about my case, and the prosecution did NOT want to argue with him. He subpoena'd all the records from every single arrest made by the arresting officer in the last year, and worked a whole bunch of other magic, I have no idea what he did, but it worked. David is also affiliated with NORML, and on top of being a badass lawyer, he is a pretty cool guy to chill with. As soon as I met David, I did not speak with any other lawyers, I knew I was in good hands. After being charged with one first degree felony, one-second degree felony, and 2 third-degree misdemeanors, with David handling my case, he ended up getting all charges dropped except the hash charge, which got reduced AND deferred. The end result was a 1500 dollar fine, some court and lab fees, and 120 hours of community service, and since it was deferred, I am on probation until I finish the hours, but after I finish, I can get off early. Basically, I was facing 20+ years, and David pretty much got me off with what could be loosely regarded as a slap on the wrist. David handles all kind of cases from money laundering to marijuana cases, to dui's...with this guy by your side you know you are in good hands. Thanks David

    "Best lawyer in the DFW metroplex hands down"
    David and his staff are excellent in helping you understand everything that is going on. If you want a lawyer to fight for you and not do the bare minimum then David Sloane is the one to contact. I went from having a state jail felony and a class b misdemeanor, to just a class c misdemeanor no felony. He also got it set up to where my record is sealed. I really have no idea where I would be or what the outcome would have been if I didn't choose David as my attorney. Olga is also very helpful as well and does an excellent job of letting you know when and where you need to be, and also helps you understand things going on with your case. I give David and his team 5 stars because of how they treated me and what an outstanding job David did. Thank you so much for your help.

    "Mind blown."
    I couldn’t believe what he did for me when it was happening. I was not expecting that he would get my entire case DROPPED. I was expecting a felony on my name, but I left court a free man. He is well worth the cost. Thank you! Nobody else could have done what you have.

    "He moves mountains and he is straight forward with everything"
    He is a great attorney I would recommend him to anyone. He moves mountains and he is straight forward with everything and he gives you all the options and lets you choose and he will advise you for what he thinks and more than likely right or you can go with what you want and both of you will roll the dice together and go with that option if you want to he does not strong arm you into anything. And after meeting and seeing people talk about him what he does in work and outside of work he is an all around great man. and would highly recommend retaining him.
