An Assistant District Attorney reviews all expunction petitions submitted to the Office. If you meet all the statutory requirements to be entitled to an expunction, then the Assistant District Attorney will contact you or your attorney for a proposed order. If the order meets the statutory requirements, the Assistant District Attorney will sign the order “agreed as to form.” You may then take the agreed order to the judge to be signed.
If the Assistant District Attorney determines you are not entitled to an expunction, he or she will file an answer with the court. The judge will then conduct a hearing to determine whether he or she should grant your petition.
