West Virginia Criminal Records Expungement

A criminal record expungement is the process of petitioning a court to clear, remove, or “seal” an arrest or dismissal from your criminal record. If you meet statutory standard, the State of West Virginia permits dismissed charges and certain convictions to be removed from your record so that they are not available to be viewed by the public. Slavey & Shumaker PLLC has years of experience helping clients remove prior convictions and arrests to ensure past mistakes do not continue to haunt clients in the future.
