Who Qualifies for Expungement?

In order to provide the most accurate evaluation, our Portland criminal defense lawyers need to know when you were convicted, where your conviction occurred, what you were convicted of, and whether you have had other arrests that did not lead to a conviction.
When considering your eligibility for an expungement, keep the following general principles in mind:

  • Typically, any Class B Marijuana possession charge, Class C felony, or misdemeanor may be expunged (except for sex crimes, crimes amounting to child abuse and state or municipal traffic offenses).
  • If you were acquitted of any crime or your case was dismissed (including DUI), you can expunge it from your record (except dismissals resulting from the successful completion of a DUI Diversion).
  • ​Arrests that did not lead to criminal charges can be expunged.
  • ​You will have to wait anywhere from 3 to 10 or more years to be eligible to expunge your conviction.
  • ​Recent changes to Oregon law now allow courts to expunge Class B felonies under certain circumstances.
  • ​At least 20 years must have passed since the conviction, and you must not have been convicted of any crime since.
  • You cannot expunge a conviction under this provision if it is a "person felony" or the crime of furnishing a firearm used in a felony.

How Can Expungement Benefit Me?

Expungement offers numerous benefits that can greatly impact a person for the rest of his or her life. Some of the benefits of getting a criminal record expunged include:

  • Ability to secure gainful employment
