Sealing Your Criminal Record
If your case was dismissed, or you were found Not Guilty after trial, and in certain other instances, your criminal record may be sealed. You can also seal your misdemeanor or felony conviction after a certain period of time. A motion to seal the record has to be filed with the court and heard by the Judge. Massachusetts CORI reform enacted in 2010 reduced waiting periods to seal criminal records. Contact me to discuss your particular case.
Motion to Vacate a Guilty Plea or Continuance Without a Finding (CWOF)
Recent supreme court decision Padilla v. Kentucky, 130 S. Ct. 1473 (2010) decided that criminal defense attorneys must advise non-citizen clients about the deportation risks of a guilty plea. The duties recognized in Padilla are broad, including a duty to advise criminal defendants about the risk of deportation. If you feel that a motion to vacate guilty plea is warranted in your case for any reason, please contact us to discus your case.
