If you are looking to have an expert Minnesota expungement attorney expunge your MN criminal record, you have come to the right place. Our law firm has expunged more than 40,000 records nationwide and has an "A+" rating with the Better Business Bureau.
Minnesota law allows most people with a criminal record to apply for expungement. If the court agrees to expunge your records, the court completely seals its records from public view and allows you to honestly say that you have not been convicted of a crime.

Expungement cases in Minnesota can be very challenging. The District Attorneys regularly object to expungement. However, we will fight for you. Having us represent you will also ensure that you do not end up needlessly missing months or even years of opportunities because your case got delayed due to simple mistakes.
The process in Minnesota involves petitioning the court for an expungement (or restoration) in the county in which your original case occurred. The petition will contain all the necessary details from your original case that the court requires, as well as the arguments in favor of the court granting your case. This can include attaching supporting documentation as to why you are deserving of the relief requested. The court will review the petition and typically set it for a hearing for a judge to make a decision. We will represent you at that hearing and put forth the best arguments on your behalf.

Minnesota law allows you to expunge a wide range of cases. If you were arrested and not convicted, your arrest records can be expunged. You can also expunge a case in which you completed a diversion or stay of adjudication and had the case dismissed. MN Law also allows you to expunge certain convictions. In order to expunge a conviction, the court must find that expungement will yield a benefit to you that is equivalent to the disadvantages to the public and public safety that results from sealing the record and burdening the court and the agencies to comply with the expungement. For a conviction, you must be able to show you are rehabilitated and that you deserve and/or need the expungement of your MN records.
Firearm rights can be lost in MN because of a wide variety of different offenses, including "crimes of violence." You also lose your gun rights under federal law for any felony convictions. The good news is that you can restore your Minnesota gun rights if the court finds that there is "good cause" to do so. The law in MN has not defined what the term "good cause" means; however, if it could include if you need a firearm for a job or hunting or if there is no reason to think you cannot be trusted to own a gun.
Under Minnesota law, the court can expunge your records of a juvenile adjudication of delinquency at any time. The judge may grant the expungement if he or she deems it advisable at that time. Minnesota automatically seals juvenile records, but the records are not automatically expunged. However, you can petition the court to completely expunge your juvenile records.
