Louisiana Expungements:
Louisiana Revised Statute
44:9 has been replaced by Act 145. Beginning on August 1, 2104 the
following expungement law and qualifications will apply:
Louisiana
Code of Criminal Procedure Articles 971 through 995
Often times clients are unable to obtain employment
because employers conduct criminal
background checks on potential employees only to find that the person
has a criminal record. We have experience in obtaining expungements for
clients so that they can clear their record and obtain employment.
Depending on the crime, an expungement may be possible
in state, municipal or traffic court. Even if you have a conviction,
you may still be eligible for an expungement. Likewise, if the charge against was dismissed or if you were aquitted
through trial or otherwise, an expungement will likely be possible. Expungements
of arrests include, but are not limited to:
•Disturbing
the peace
•Public intoxication
•Drug Possession
•Theft
•Attempted Theft
•Open container ordinance violations
•Underage drinking
•Lewd Conduct
•DUI/DWI
•Solicitation
•Resisting arrest
•Simple battery
•Any non-violent crime unless the violent crime was dismissed or an
aquittal was obtained
