EXPUNGEMENTS
In the state of Louisiana,the law allows for violations of parish and municipal ordinances,and other misdemeanors to be 
expunged from your record if you have been arrested and in many cases if you have been convicted of these offenses. An expungement is an order from a judge ordering that all the arrest records,photographs,fingerprints,etc are destroyed so that they are no longer on your record. If you have some minor convictions or arrests on your record then this is the way to clean it up. The expungement laws allow for the recipient to not claim the expunged arrests or convictions on future job applications. In an economy like this,one can see the immediate benefit of an expungement.
If you have ever been arrested,even if you were never charged with a crime or convicted you have a record. The only way to clear that record is to request that the arresting authorities and state expunge and destroy those records. The Louisiana laws that deal with expungments are complex and oftentimes very ambiguous. If you would like to have your an arrest or conviction expunged from your record,please contact The Scott Law Firm for a consultation.
