Ohio law provides options for you to clear both adult and juvenile cases. Additionally, if you have lost rights as a result of a criminal conviction, you may be able to restore them. You can take our confidential online evaluation to see what you are eligible for under Ohio law. Below is a brief summary on our Ohio services:
Ohio allows you to seal records of both adult arrests and convictions. If you were arrested but charges were dismissed, you can seal the case immediately. You can have any number of arrests, misdemeanor convictions, ore felony class 5 or 5 convictions sealed. To seal a more serious conviction, you can only have a limited number of convictions on your record. The court must find you have been rehabilitated. Certain offenses are not eligible and there is a one-year waiting period for misdemeanors and class 4 or 5 felonies, and a three-year waiting period for felonies.
If you are currently residing in Ohio and are prohibited from purchasing or possessing a firearm, you may be able to restore your gun rights. In order to petition the court for this relief, you must have been discharged from parole or community supervision. The court will evaluate your case to see if you have been law-abiding since your release and if the judge believes you will remain law-abiding.
The law in Ohio allows for juvenile records to be sealed. Many juvenile records should be sealed automatically, such as dismissed charges; however, if they have not been sealed you can petition for the court to seal these records. If you were adjudicated delinquent, you can also petition to have records of your case sealed. You must wait six months from the termination of your case or your discharge from supervision. You must no longer be under the jurisdiction of the court. The court will also consider other factors, such as your age, nature of the case, employment and education history, and whether you have been law-abiding.
In Ohio juvenile records should be expunged five years after the court seals the records or when the person turns 23 years old, whichever date comes first. However, if the records were not expunged automatically or if you want it done sooner, then you can apply to the court to have your juvenile records expunged. When you petition for expungement, the judge will look at several factors to see if you have been satisfactorily rehabilitated. The factors include whether you have been law-abiding, your age, your educational and employment history, and the specifics (such as the seriousness of the offense) of the original case.
