A criminal record can affect your employment opportunities, housing applications, and future. Fortunately, Oklahoma law allows certain criminal records to be expunged, giving eligible individuals an opportunity for a fresh start.
At the Law Office of Erik G. Roscom, we believe that your past should not define your future. As a former Assistant District Attorney, Erik understands the criminal justice system and can help determine whether you qualify for an expungement, explain the legal process, and assist you in pursuing the sealing of eligible criminal records.
Types of Expungement and Record Relief
991(c) Expungements – Deferred Sentences
In Oklahoma, individuals who successfully complete a deferred sentence may qualify for relief under Title 22, Section 991c. This process can allow the court to dismiss the case and update certain court records.
A 991(c) expungement is different from a full record expungement, and some information may remain accessible. Attorney Erik G. Roscom can review your case, explain your eligibility, and help you pursue the relief available under Oklahoma law.
Title 22 Expungements – Sealing Criminal Records
Oklahoma law allows eligible individuals to petition the court to seal certain criminal records under Title 22, Section 18. Depending on the circumstances, individuals with dismissed charges, acquittals, or qualifying convictions may be eligible for expungement.
Attorney Erik G. Roscom can review your criminal history, determine whether you meet the legal requirements, and guide you through the process of petitioning the court to seal eligible records.
Pardon Requests – Oklahoma Criminal Record Relief
A criminal conviction can continue to affect your life long after you have completed your sentence. In Oklahoma, eligible individuals may apply for a pardon through the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board.
A pardon is different from an expungement and does not automatically remove a conviction from your criminal record. However, it may provide certain legal benefits and opportunities for additional relief.
At the Law Office of Erik G. Roscom, we can help you understand the pardon application process, review your eligibility, and assist you in preparing your request.
