A mistake from the past can result in negative consequences today. Background searches that reveal prior offenses or arrests can lead to housing denial, restriction in employment opportunities, or the prevention of professional licensure.
In Minnesota, a process called “expungement” may be available to those looking to put their mistakes behind them. The expungement process involves going before a judge and asking to seal a court record relating to a past conviction or arrest. Expungement may be pursued under the court’s “inherent authority” or by statute.

If you are facing a probation revocation or violation, you may have legal options at your disposal. The criminal defense attorneys at Blethen Berens can help during this critical time.
