Expungement of a criminal record in Oregon is a legal procedure that can be complex and frustrating, especially if you want to get your record cleared fast. Small mistakes can cost a person months of delay or worse. Having the Oregon expungement attorneys at RecordGone.com represent you means that your case will be done right the first time and that you get the fastest possible results.
The process starts by reviewing the criminal record to confirm eligibility. Then a legal document, called a petition, is filed with the court. The petition asks the judge to order that all records relating to the case be expunged. The public cannot access or see an expunged case in Oregon, and the case is completely removed from your criminal record.
The best way for you to determine what options you have to clear your record in Oregon is to run through our confidential and free eligibility test. Below is information on some of the services available in Oregon.
Oregon law allows you to expunge a conviction in most cases. You may file for an expungement after an established amount of time from the conviction. The amount of time in which you must wait is determined by the level of offense you are trying to expunge. A longer time period for the most serious offenses and a shorter period for lower level misdemeanors. You must also be conviction-free for a certain amount of time determined by the level of offense you are seeking to expunge before you can petition for expungement. Additionally, you must have fulfilled all requirements of your sentence, but it is no longer required that you satisfy all financial obligations such as fines or restitution in order to be eligible for expungement.
Oregon law allows you to expunge an arrest record in most instances. You can file for an expungement immediately following the dismissal or acquittal. If charges were not filed in court, you have to wait 60 days from the date the prosecuting attorney declines to move forward with the case. As with conviction expungement, you must also be conviction-free for a certain amount of time determined by the level of offense you are seeking to expunge before you can petition for expungement.
If you have lost your gun rights in Oregon you may be able to apply for a firearm rights restoration with the court. The law allows for those with a felony conviction or violent misdemeanor to petition for a restoration. You must reside in Oregon and a year must have passed since the discharge of your sentence. Felonies that require imposition of a mandatory minimum sentence and certain felony offenses against a person that included the use of a firearm or deadly weapon are not eligible. The expungement or set aside of your conviction will also serve to restore your firearm rights in Oregon.
Some felony convictions in Oregon are eligible to be reduced to a misdemeanor. Only certain types of cases are eligible, they include: Class C felonies, Class B felonies for unlawful possession of marijuana or unlawful delivery of marijuana, and Class A felonies for unlawful racketeering activity. You must have successfully completed probation. Additionally convictions prior to 11/1/1989 which were punishable by either a felony or misdemeanor may be eligible for a reduction.
If you are currently serving a probationary sentence, you can petition the court to terminate probation early under Oregon Revised Statutes Section 137.545. A judge can grant probation termination at any time if he or she believes that you are rehabilitated and the purposes of probation are no longer being served. We do not currently offer this service, but it is an option available to you.
