San Antonio Juvenile Crimes Lawyer

Sealing Your Juvenile Criminal Record

A conviction on your child’s record can affect his or her future employment and education opportunities.  When your child has a criminal record, one of the best things that you can do is to have his or her records sealed at the earliest opportunity. Having your child’s record sealed will ensure that no one else will have access to his or her record. When your child’s records are sealed, the records of arrest, detention, prosecution and conviction are physically sealed off .  Your son or daughter is then legally allowed to say that they have never been arrested or convicted for a crime. This will also prevent your child from losing a job or not being admitted to a good college because of a prior juvenile matter.

In order for your child to be eligible, the court will review several factors.  These factors include the type of case, the manner of disposition of the case, whether your child has any new or current charges pending as either an adult or juvenile, to name a few.   Additionally, there exist both mandatory and discretionary categories for sealing juvenile records.

Attorney Shaeffer can file all the legal paperwork, prepare you for court, and represent you before the juvenile judge.
