Legal disclaimer

Not a law firm

CleanSlateCheck.us is an informational website. We are not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice. We do not represent any client. Use of this site does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Not a substitute for professional advice

The eligibility quiz and state pages reflect general research on state expungement and Clean Slate statutes. Specific facts in your case — exact charge, disposition (conviction vs. deferred adjudication), prior record, restitution status, supervision status, multi-state factors, immigration status, professional licensing context — can move the eligibility analysis in either direction. Always confirm with a licensed expungement attorney in your state of conviction before acting.

Statute and procedure may change

State laws around record relief are actively changing. Pennsylvania, Michigan, New York, Minnesota, California, and others have all amended their statutes within the last several years. The data on the site reflects research as of the per-state last-verified date. That date is the source of truth for currency — newer changes may not be reflected.

Lawyer match is a referral relationship

We connect site users with licensed expungement attorneys through partner networks. We earn a referral fee from the partner network when you engage an attorney we connect you with. The referral fee is paid by the partner network, not by you. It does not change the price you pay or the attorney's professional duty to you. We are not responsible for the attorney's services — once you engage an attorney, your relationship is with them.

No guarantee of outcomes

The quiz returns research-grounded answers about your statutory eligibility. It does not guarantee any specific outcome. Expungement and sealing petitions can be denied; automatic processes can fail to capture eligible records; specific facts can move cases in unexpected directions.

Sealed vs. erased

What we and most state statutes call “expungement” legally usually means sealedfrom public view — not destroyed. Law enforcement, the courts, and certain professional licensing boards retain access. For most practical purposes (employment, housing, consumer reports) sealed records are invisible, but the term “expunged” should not be read as “destroyed.” See the professional licensing pillar for the practical implications.
