as the title states a buddy of mine I work with( he asked me to post this) inquired recently about getting his old criminal record expunged. He travels alot like me. The lawyer told him an expungement wouldn't happen but they could file a motion to seal. From which he understood LE would still see your records etc but future potential employers and common folk wouldn't be able to access it. He does possess a mass ltc unrestricted but is not an NES guy. Hence me posting. Lawyer said they could most likely get it sealed because its 25 plus years old and he was never convicted of any of the charges( except one misdemeanor). Had some dismissed and a cwof. This all came about in his mind recently while filling out visa applications to travel to some different countries for work. Some of them ask for any convictions/arrests in your past history etc.
So from what he gathered he would not have to put anything down anymore moving forward if his record was sealed regarding different country visa applications? Obvious he would need to state it when renewing his ltc. Just figured some of you guys would have some good advice?
Oh and they quoted him $1,750.00 to do these in two different courts.( does the seem about right?) Any helpful feedback would be great I could pass along
