FAQ'S

Any questions?

Has the law changed?

Missouri’s expungement law under Section 610.140, RSMo is changing starting January 1, 2025. Under the new law, you'll be able to expunge up to three misdemeanors and two felonies—a great opportunity for a fresh start! However, please note that filing before January 1 may impact your eligibility under the new guidelines, so we encourage you to carefully consider your timing.
