I am trying to find out how to go about getting my criminal record expunged. I think if someone commits a crime,pays their debt, acquires some skills while incarcerated and is actively seeking gainful employment their records should be expunged.
I agree. In what state is your record? You can see an list of recommended attorneys at http://www.recordclearing.org/states/recommended-attorneys/
What is the difference between a pardon and an expungement?
There are several differences between a pardon and an expungement. Keep in mind that each have a different meaning in each state. In general, an expungement comes from the court. A pardon comes from the governor or executive level. A pardon says you are forgiven by the state. An expungement says your record does not exist and did not happen (for most or all purposes).
