Can I Clear My Criminal Record?

In many cases, the answer is yes. It depends on your record and the level of charges, but Connecticut offers three types of pardons that will provide a clean slate or, at minimum, a certificate of employability, even if you've been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor. With a pardon, you'll have better access to jobs, professional licenses, housing, loans and other key areas where a criminal record can set you back in life.

How Long Does It Take?

Also known as expungement, a pardon offers a fresh start. But it's a legal process that involves administrative work, filing paperwork and court hearings. Overall, the process often takes eight to 10 months. It requires a precise administrative process and a court hearing, which is why it is best to work closely with a lawyer to achieve your goal.
