Record Expungement & Sealing — Utah, Idaho & Colorado
A past case shouldn’t define your future. We help clear criminal records through expungements, sealing, dismissals, and Utah 402 reductions—so employers and landlords see the progress you’ve made. Free eligibility review.
Common Questions
Will this remove the case from background checks? Expungement/sealing limits public access; some agencies may still retain internal access as allowed by law.
What about firearm rights or immigration? These issues are complex and separate; we’ll advise how record relief interacts with them.
How We Clear Records
Eligibility check. We confirm statutes, waiting periods, fines/restitution status, and disqualifiers.
Gather & file. BCI or court certificates (where required), petitions, affidavits, and service.
Respond & appear. We address objections and attend hearings when needed.
Update background checks. We guide you on employer/landlord checks after the court order.
What To Do Right Now
List your cases (court, county, case #, charge, disposition, completion date).
Pull your official record (UT: BCI; ID: ISP/BCI; CO: CBI) and recent dockets.
Confirm eligibility & wait periods for each case (and any ineligible offenses).
Finish loose ends—pay fines/restitution, complete classes/probation—and save proof.
Collect ID + docs (photo ID, discharge orders, certificates).
Hold off on contacting background sites until the court order is granted.
Call us for a quick review from Salt Lake City, Orem, Ogden, Boise, or Denver—we’ll map filings and serve the right agencies.
Utah Overview
Utah allows expungements and 402 reductions (reducing the degree of a conviction so expungement becomes possible). Typical waiting periods after probation ends often include:
Felonies: ~7 years
Class A misdemeanors: ~5 years
Class B misdemeanors: ~4 years
Class C misdemeanors/infractions: ~3 years
Exact timelines and eligibility change—restitution, pending cases, or certain offenses can affect eligibility. We verify the latest rules and handle the 402 reduction where it helps.
We serve Salt Lake City, Orem, and Ogden and appear statewide.
Idaho Overview
Idaho relief often involves expungement for certain juvenile matters, sealing of records in limited situations, or set-aside/dismissal mechanisms depending on the statute and case type. We evaluate eligibility and handle filings from our Boise office.
Colorado Overview
Colorado uses sealing for many eligible cases (including certain dismissals and convictions after waiting periods) and has detailed timelines by offense level. We manage petitions and objections from our Denver office.
