How It Works

From questions to clearer next steps in five straightforward stages, with educational guidance and an optional professional referral.

1

Answer a Few Questions

Tell us the state where your case was handled, the type of outcome (dismissed, arrest without conviction, misdemeanor, etc.), and roughly when it happened. Our smart onboarding asks targeted follow-up questions only when your case needs them.

2

Get a Qualified Educational Summary

Your answers are organized into likely, possible, or not-yet-eligible factors and the details that still need verification. You can optionally upload court documents for a deeper review.

3

Generate Your Documents

We prepare your petition, cover letter, mailing instructions, and filing checklist tailored to your state's requirements. Review everything, then download and print your drafts.

4

File With the Court

Follow your personalized checklist to file with the court. Some cases are decided without a hearing; others may require a court appearance — your plan tells you what to expect.

5

Track Your Progress

Your dashboard follows your case from filing to court review to a cleared record, with email alerts at every milestone along the way.

Private & Secure

Your case information is shared with a selected professional only after you explicitly request contact and consent.

Honest Guidance

We tell you plainly what's likely, possible, or not yet eligible — no false promises.
