We are here, ready to tackle your unique situation and help you navigate the road ahead. 

A past mistake shouldn’t define your future. If you’ve been held back by a criminal record—even for something minor—Missouri’s expungement laws may give you a second chance. Expungement allows eligible individuals to clear certain arrests, charges, and convictions from their public criminal record, opening the door to new employment, housing, and personal opportunities.

At Finder Law, we help clients across Jefferson City, Columbia, and Mid-Missouri navigate the expungement process with clarity, professionalism, and efficiency. If you’re ready for a fresh start, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Expungement is a legal process that removes or seals certain criminal records from public view. In Missouri, an expunged record is generally not accessible to employers, landlords, or background check companies. This can give you a clean slate and help you move forward without the stigma of a past conviction.

While not every crime is eligible for expungement, many misdemeanors, non-violent felonies, and arrest records qualify—especially if they occurred years ago and you’ve remained law-abiding since.

Missouri law has expanded significantly in recent years to allow more individuals to qualify for expungement. Depending on your situation, you may be able to clear:

• Arrests that did not lead to charges or convictions
  
  
• Certain misdemeanors (e.g. theft, trespassing, possession)
  
  
• Some non-violent felonies
  
  
• Old DWI or DUI convictions (under specific conditions)
  
  
• Municipal ordinance violations
  
  

There are waiting periods that must be met before filing, and each case is reviewed by a judge to determine if expungement is appropriate.

Some charges are not eligible for expungement in Missouri. These generally include:



• Violent crimes
  
  
• Sex offenses
  
  
• Felony offenses involving a deadly weapon
  
  
• Class A felonies
  
  
• Certain domestic assault charges
  
  
• Crimes that required registration as a sex offender
  
  

Even if your charge isn’t eligible now, we can help you understand your options and whether changes in the law might apply in the future.

At Finder Law, we handle every stage of the expungement process, including:

• Reviewing your criminal history for eligibility
  
  
• Preparing and filing the necessary petitions
  
  
• Notifying law enforcement, prosecutors, and courts
  
  
• Representing you at the expungement hearing, if required
  
  
• Following up to ensure records are properly sealed
  
  

We make the process as simple and stress-free as possible, so you can focus on the future.

Expungement can lead to real, tangible benefits in your life. It may help you:



• Pass background checks for jobs or housing
  
  
• Restore your reputation
  
  
• Apply for professional licenses
  
  
• Improve financial opportunities
