Understanding Expungement Fees

Clearing your record is a crucial step toward building a better future. But not all expungement services are equal. We bring experience, personalized guidance, and a commitment to seeing your case through—no matter how complex. When you choose us, you’re not just paying for paperwork but investing in expert support that gives you the best chance for success.

What Do Expungement Fees Include?

When budgeting for expungement, expect the following:

  1. Application Fees: This fee is paid to the Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI) to determine your eligibility for expungement.
  2. Certificate of Eligibility: If approved, you’ll need to purchase a certificate of eligibility, a required document to move forward with the expungement process.
  3. Attorney Fees: Professional guidance and representation throughout your case.
  4. Court Filing Fees: The courts require this fee to file your expungement petition.  
  5. Other Costs: These can include additional expenses such as document retrieval, filing extra petitions, obtaining certified copies, and administrative tasks related to your case.

This breakdown ensures you understand the key components of expungement costs so you can plan accordingly and avoid surprises.

How We Structure Our Fees

We keep our pricing simple. Here’s how:

  • Flat Fees: Know your total cost upfront—no hidden surprises.
  • Comprehensive Support: Our services cover everything from eligibility evaluation to court representation.
