The Process

How expungement works with Fresh Start

Three steps. Clear timelines. No hourly billing.

Step by step

What we do, start to finish

01

Free Eligibility Review

We assess your case against your state’s expungement statutes. You answer a short intake about conviction type, time elapsed, and current status. Within 24 hours, we tell you whether you may qualify under your state’s law and what records would be eligible. No cost, no obligation.

02

Document Preparation & Filing

Once you engage our service, we prepare every required form, petition, and supporting document specific to your jurisdiction. Court filing fees are paid separately at cost. We submit the petition on your behalf and handle all administrative correspondence with the court.

03

Court Resolution & Confirmation

Most jurisdictions schedule a hearing or rule on the petition within 60–180 days of filing. We monitor the docket, respond to any correspondence, and confirm the outcome in writing. If a petition is denied for procedural reasons, we refile at no additional service fee.
