Record Sealing
Seal Your Criminal Record ◦ Denver Court Records Attorney
A Denver, Colorado, criminal record can prevent you from finding the perfect job or living in your favorite apartment. When jobs are scarce, employers are picky. A criminal court record can even damage your reputation. Fortunately, Colorado law permits many people to have their police and court criminal records sealed. What can be sealed, and the type of sealing, depends on the type of conviction (felony or misdemeanor), how old it is, and what court issued the conviction. Also helpful, is a provision of law that allows some people to state that they have never previously been charged with or convicted of the sealed crime. Some Denver law provisions make it unlawful for employers to ask questions such as “have you ever had a case sealed or expunged.”

Fixing Inaccurate Arapahoe County Court And Police Criminal Records – We Can Help With Record Mistakes
Unfortunately, not all Colorado criminal records can be sealed. Only those specifically authorized by law can be sealed. If your record cannot be sealed, you should be sure it is accurately reported. We often see court and police records that mention charges which were dismissed entirely and should be deleted. The Colorado Bureau of Investigations then reports these inaccurate records to other states via the FBI. In some instances, clients are overcharged with a felony and then convicted by a misdemeanor plea. Yet the record has a mistake which makes it look like the person had a felony conviction. It does not show the dismissal. You don’t want employment and housing decisions to be made on an inaccurate criminal record mistake.
