Your record follows you everywhere
Even years later, a record can stand between you and the life you are building.
Jobs
Background checks flag old records. Employers pass on people before they get a chance to explain.
Housing
Landlords run tenant screening. An old charge can mean another rejection, another move.
Loans and credit
Banks, car dealerships, and even some insurance companies check records. It costs real money.
Many records can be cleared. Most states have a legal process to expunge or seal old charges. The hard part is knowing where to start.
