Clear your eligible record for $50, not $2,500 — without hiring a lawyer.

The barrier
A record can keep showing up long after the case is over.
Old arrests, dismissed charges, misdemeanors, and eligible convictions can still create friction when you apply for work, housing, school, licensing, or a fresh start. Expungement.ai helps you see whether the law gives you a path to clear it — then helps you take the next step.

Why $50 instead of thousands?
A lawyer may manage legal strategy, representation, and filing for you. Expungement.ai prepares the self-help documents your court generally expects and shows you how to file them yourself. You do the filing; we make the paperwork and steps easier.
Cost ranges are general estimates for attorney-assisted expungement and vary widely by case, court, and region. Expungement.ai is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or representation.
Why you can trust this
Built by a criminal defense attorney and state lawmaker.
Every document and every step is grounded in the actual law of your state, reviewed by attorneys who do this work. We don't cut corners with your record. A defective filing lands on a real person, and that person is you.
Trust & privacy
Your record is sensitive. Your privacy should be obvious.
You can start the eligibility check without creating an account. We do not sell your information. We only ask for what we need to screen your options and prepare your packet.
Your filing guide
Meet Wilma, your plain-English filing guide.
Wilma helps explain confusing steps, translate legal terms, and point you back to your checklist. She does not replace a lawyer or promise a court outcome — she helps you understand what to do next.
Wilma provides general self-help guidance, not legal advice.
Coverage
Screening and guidance for all 50 states + DC.
Record-clearing rules are different everywhere. Start with your state and case details, and we'll show what appears available before you pay. Packet availability depends on your result and jurisdiction.
Why it matters
Clearing a record can change what comes next.
Opportunity
Criminal records can create barriers to jobs, occupational licensing, housing, and higher education.
Access
Legal help is often out of reach for people who need it most.
Economic lift
Research has found that people who obtain expungement experience a sharp upward turn in wage and employment trajectories.
These studies show why record clearing matters. They do not guarantee any individual legal, employment, housing, or financial outcome.
