Alabama Expungement Attorney — Flat-Fee Record Clearing

For non-conviction records — including charges that were dismissed, nolle prossed, no-billed by a grand jury, or that resulted in acquittal — you may petition for expungement immediately after the final disposition of the case with no waiting period required.

Misdemeanor and violation convictions listed in § 15-27-1(a)(4) are eligible for expungement after a waiting period based on severity: most traffic violations after one year, misdemeanors after two years, and certain serious misdemeanors after five years from the date of completion of the sentence including any period of probation.

Non-violent felony convictions that are specifically listed in the statute may be eligible for expungement after five years from completion of sentence, provided the offense is not excluded and you have been pardoned by the Board of Pardons and Paroles or the conviction meets other statutory criteria.

You must have no pending criminal charges in any jurisdiction at the time of filing, must not have been convicted of any felony within the past five years (for felony expungement petitions), and must have completed all terms of the sentence including probation, fines, restitution, and community service.

All court-ordered financial obligations — including fines, court costs, restitution, and fees — must have been paid in full before you are eligible to petition. There is no waiver provision for unpaid financial obligations under the current statute.

Alabama requires a separate petition for each case number you wish to expunge; multiple arrests or charges filed under separate case numbers require separate filings and separate fees.
