We all make mistakes. However, if you've ever made an unlawful mistake which brought you before a criminal court, then, depending on the type of criminal conviction or plea you received, you may be able to have this mistake erased or "expunged" from your record. Sealing of a Criminal History is the process of going to court to ask a judge to seal a court record from the public view. Sometimes this process is called an expungement, but in Colorado an expungement is specifically for Sealing Juvenile Criminal Histories.Juvenile Law
The goals of the juvenile justice system, at least in theory, are somewhat different than that of the adult system: for children, the goal is supposed to be rehabilitation, not punishment. Unfortunately there are district attorneys who are too quick to charge a child with a serious crime, judges too willing to detain a child or sentence him to a lengthy detention sentence, schools that function as a virtual pipeline to jail, and employers that ask juvenile applicants if they've ever been charged with a crime.Weapons Charge Defense
The Second Amendment protects United States citizens' right to bear arms, however, these rights are constantly being restricted by Federal, State and local laws. Convictions for violations of these laws can have significant consequences in both the present and future.
