Frequently Asked Questions about Portland & Tri-County Expungements

What is an expungement?
An expungement removes an arrest or conviction from your permanent record – legally, it’s as if it never happened. All past court documents are destroyed, and your case will never show up in background checks. Additionally, when asked about your criminal record you can legally deny you have ever been arrested or convicted.

How much does it cost to expunge a misdemeanor or felony in Oregon?
We are always open and transparent about our pricing structure. We charge one flat fee and accept payments by credit card. We also offer payment plans if you’re facing financial hardship.

Can I expunge a DUII in Portland?
No. In Oregon, driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII) can’t be expunged. Since DUIIs are known as a “counting crime,” with each successive conviction carrying a stiffer penalty, past DUII convictions must remain on your record.

DUII charges can never be expunged, even if it’s your first offense.

Do I still need an expungement if my case was dismissed through STOP Court?
Yes. The charge is still on your record even if the case was dismissed. We’ll help you expunge your record and remove any record of your case forever.

How do I know if I’m eligible for expungement?
The best way to know for sure if you’re eligible is to use our free expungement eligibility tool.

However, in most cases, you need to meet all of these requirements:

  • For a non-person B Felony, no other convictions within the past 7 years.

  • For most C Felonies, no other convictions within the past 5 years.

  • For most A Misdemeanors and Contempt Findings, no other convictions within the past 3 years.

  • For B and C Misdemeanors, no other convictions within the past year.

  • Complete all required sentencing, probation, community service, fines, and so on

  • No pending criminal cases in any court

Keep in mind: If you were arrested but not formally charged, you can file for an expungement after the case is dismissed or 60 days from your arrest if the case was “no-complainted.”

Do you provide expungement services near me?
Yes! While many of our clients live in Portland and Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas counties, we can file for expungement in all Oregon counties. 

Can you guarantee success?
While nothing in life is certain, I am so confident in the cases I take that if they are unsuccessful for any reason, I will refund my fee. No matter if you’re looking for a Clackamas County expungement, Multnomah County expungement, or Washington County expungement, if you meet the eligibility requirements, the odds are in your favor.

How long does an expungement take in Oregon?
Our clients wait an average of 3-5 months for the expungement to be finalized. This is because your paperwork has to make its way through the legal system, which can take some time.

Do I need the help of an Portland expungement lawyer?
While it is possible to successfully petition the court without the help of an expungement lawyer, the process requires a comprehensive understanding of the process and requirements. The time and money you invest into the process will be completely wasted if you make even one clerical error.

We have successfully resolved hundreds of expungement cases and believe investing with an experienced expungement attorney is worth the cost.
