I am Attorney James Mayer from The Mayer Law Firm and I am prepared to provide you with the legal counsel and assistance that you need to secure a fresh start and a hopeful future. Call me today to talk about your options and how I may be able to help you clear the burden of a criminal record.

Want to seal a criminal record?

The process of record sealing involves petitioning the court. You will submit an application along with a one-time application fee. It is crucial that you have knowledgeable legal counsel on your side during this process to ensure that you follow all of the necessary steps laid out in ORC ยง 2953.32. If you are able to seal your record, it will be as if the conviction never happened.

While law enforcement officials may still have access to your past charges even if the court deems it appropriate to seal your records, in most cases you can legally answer "no" when asked if you have ever been convicted of a crime. This is an invaluable tool in the current job market, as many of today's employers perform background checks before hiring.
