Minnesota Expungement Lawyers & Attorneys
Expungement involves striking records or information in
court files,
computers and other depositories relating to criminal charges.
Expungement in Minnesota is generally limited to the sealing of the
courts records relating to a criminal conviction and prohibiting the
disclosure of their existence except under court order or some other
statutory authority. The
Minnesota expungement statutes outline the process.
Eligible adults or juveniles prosecuted as adults in Minnesota
must file a sworn petition for expungement. The petitioner must
serve the petition for expungement and a proposed expungement order
on the criminal prosecutor’s office that had jurisdiction over the
offense for which expungement is sought and all other state and
local government agencies and jurisdictions whose records would be
affected by the proposed order.
A hearing is to be held no sooner than 60 days after service of
the petition. A victim of the criminal offense for which expungement
is sought has a right to submit an oral or written statement to the
court at the time of the hearing describing the harm suffered by the
victim as a result of the criminal activity and the victim's
recommendation on whether expungement should be granted or denied.
The court will grant the petition
to seal the record unless the agency or jurisdiction whose records
would be affected establishes by clear and convincing evidence that
the interests of the public safety outweigh the disadvantages to the
petitioner of not sealing the record.
