How Criminal Lawyers Can Help You Clear Your Criminal Record Legally

The Niselow criminal lawyers specialise in defence of drivers prosecuted for drunk driving and driving under the influence of narcotic drugs. In addition our criminal lawyers are also able to assist in legally clearing criminal records which qualify according to Section 271 of the Criminal Procedure Act.

Our criminal lawyers can help you clear your name if the offence committed qualifies for expungement. Examples of offences that qualify are non-violent crimes, some politically motivated crimes, cases of shoplifting and petty theft, as well as certain cases of fraud. Crimes for which punishment is considered unconstitutional may also qualify. The cases are assessed and each one evaluated individually. There are offences which cannot qualify such as violent crimes including that of rape, armed robbery, sexual offences, murder, and assault with the intent to cause serious bodily injuries.

Our lawyers will help you to complete the application, will research and compile supporting documentation, will lodge the application, and monitor its progress. In addition they can also appeal on your behalf where the court decision is not in favour of expungement. If you don’t qualify for expungement we will lodge and application for presidential pardoning. Since the presidential pardon waiting list is now shorter, you will not have to wait long. Our lawyers are also able to assist in cases that qualify for internal rehabilitation for immigrants where their offences are a minimum of five years old and fall within the minor category.

Whether you need assistance regarding a drunken driving offence where your rights have not been respected and where the traffic officer didn’t follow the correct procedures for testing you or you need assistance with the clearing of your name, you will benefit from the legal expertise offered by the Niselow criminal lawyers.
