We file expungment cases in any county in the State of Iowa.
Our criminal practice is generally limited to the counties surrounding Iowa City, but with expungment cases we have streamlined the approach to such that we may file in any Iowa county for the same low flat rate.
The process for expunging these charges is simple. Give us a call and we will electronically pull and review your files while you are on the phone. If we determine you have met the criteria for expungment, we can take the case and send the documents off for filing immediately.
Each county has its own system. Locally, in Johnson County, the process has been taking around 3-4 weeks.
Usually no court hearings are set, and there is no need for the Defendant to do anything more than call us to start the cases. We handle the rest of the matter.
If you have a PAULA or Pubilc Intoxication conviction that you would like to have expunged, please give us a call and we can determine your eligibility. Then we can get started on your case right away.
