Our Story
Everyone deserves a second chance
Over 70 million Americans have a criminal record. Fewer than 10% ever file for the relief they may be entitled to. The legal system is complex, attorneys are expensive, and most people don’t know where to start. We exist to close that gap.
What we do
Expungement Guide provides state-specific tools and information to help people navigate the process of clearing their criminal records. Our DIY Kit walks you through your options, prepares your state’s official court forms for your case, and gives you a step-by-step filing guide.
- Free legal information for all 50 states
- Court-ready forms prepared for your case
- Step-by-step filing guides with courthouse information
- Legal aid resource directories for every state
Our values
Every decision we make is guided by the people we serve.
Trauma-Informed
One question at a time. No legal jargon. No judgment. Every interaction is designed to reduce anxiety, not add to it.
Privacy First
We collect only what’s needed for your order. Your case details are encrypted in transit, stored securely, and never sold or shared with third parties.
Radically Honest
We tell you upfront if you likely don't qualify. We'd rather save you $149 than make a sale on false hope.
Important: What we are not
We are not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice, legal representation, or attorney-client relationships. Our tools are informational and educational.
For legal advice specific to your situation, please consult a licensed attorney or your local legal aid organization. Many states offer free legal aid for expungement—we link to those resources on every state page.
Your privacy matters
We understand the sensitivity of criminal record information. That’s why we built our tools with privacy as a core principle, not an afterthought.
- Case data encrypted in transit and at rest (TLS + AES-256)
- We use privacy-focused analytics (PostHog) to improve the product
- We never sell or share your personal information with third parties
- Minimal data collection: only what’s needed for your order
