Denver Record Expungement Law Firm Helps Juveniles Clear Their Records

Parker, Colorado Juvenile Record Expungement Attorney Puts Clients First

In Colorado, many juvenile records may qualify for expungement, which means sealed or specially marked and treated as though they never existed. In most cases, after a record is expunged, an individual can legally say that they were never the subject of proceedings in Colorado juvenile court. However, if they are convicted of a crime later on, the court may obtain an expunged record for sentencing purposes.

Eligibility for Expungement

A juvenile record will qualify for expungement in Colorado if a court finds that since the end of the offender’s court supervision or parole:

• They have not been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor, or adjudicated for another juvenile offense.
• There are no criminal or delinquency proceedings pending.
• The offender is considered rehabilitated.
• Expunging the record is in the best interests of the offender as well as the community.

A record will not eligible for expungement if:

• They were found to be an aggravated or violated juvenile offender.
• They were found to have committed an offense that would be classified as an adult crime of violence.
• They were charged, as a juvenile, by the direct filing in the direct court of an information or indictment, unless sentenced as a juvenile in the same matter.
• They committed an illegal sexual offense.
