Wisconsin Expungement Attorney — Flat-Fee Record Clearing

For offenses committed on or after January 1, 2024, the court may order expungement upon successful completion of the sentence if the maximum period of imprisonment for the offense is six years or less (Class H and I felonies and all misdemeanors) and you were under age 25 at the time of the offense, or the offense carries a maximum imprisonment of two years or less regardless of age.

For offenses committed before January 1, 2024, expungement must have been ordered at the time of sentencing — if the sentencing court did not include an expungement order in the original judgment, the conviction generally cannot be expunged later through a post-conviction petition under the prior version of the statute.

The offense must carry a maximum term of imprisonment of six years or less (this covers all misdemeanors and Class H and I felonies), and you must have been under 25 years of age at the time you committed the offense (for offenses before 2024) or meet the age/severity thresholds in the current version.

You must have successfully completed your sentence, including any period of probation, payment of all fines and restitution, completion of community service, and satisfaction of all other conditions imposed by the court.

The court must determine that expungement is consistent with rehabilitation and the benefit to you outweighs the need to preserve the record for public access — this is a discretionary determination that considers your conduct since sentencing.

Certain offenses are categorically excluded from expungement regardless of age or sentence length, including all offenses listed in § 973.015(1m)(b), which references specific statute sections for violent and sexual offenses.
