From a Past Criminal Record

Expungement can remove eligible case information from court and law enforcement records in Maryland, while West Virginia law also allows certain records to be sealed or expunged when legal requirements are met. Eligibility depends on the type of charge, outcome, waiting period, and criminal history.

At Dunning Law, LLC, we help clients understand whether their record may qualify, what filings are needed, and what to expect from the process.

A Record Should Not Define Every Opportunity Ahead

Even a dismissed charge or older case can create stress when applying for jobs, housing, professional licenses, or background checks. Expungement may help reduce those barriers when the law allows it. Maryland identifies certain outcomes such as acquittals, dismissals, and some probation-before-judgment results as potentially eligible, while West Virginia provides procedures for certain dismissed charges and eligible convictions.

EXPUNGEMENT ASSISTANCE MAY INVOLVE

Dunning Law, LLC can assist with matters involving:

Dismissed charges
Not guilty findings
Acquittals
Nolle prosequi outcomes
Certain probation-before-judgment matters
Eligible misdemeanor or felony convictions
Marijuana/cannabis-related record issues
West Virginia dismissed-charge expungements

Understanding Eligibility Before You File

Not every record can be expunged, and filing too early or using the wrong process can delay the result. Some Maryland expungement matters involve waiting periods, and West Virginia eligibility may depend on the type of case, the time passed, and whether other charges are pending.

Our firm helps review the record, identify possible eligibility, prepare filings, and guide clients through the court process.
