the
00:05
most memorable expungement i handled was
00:07
for a uh
00:08
a middle-aged gentleman who had made a
00:10
mistake
00:11
about 10 or 12 years ago by pulling a
00:14
weapon during an altercation he was
00:16
charged and convicted of felonious
00:18
assault in that case
00:19
and he came to me knowing that
00:22
his company was under new management and
00:25
that new management was starting all
00:26
over again in rehiring
00:28
through background checks so his biggest
00:30
concern even though his prior employer
00:32
had hired him prior to the the issue
00:36
prior to the criminal conviction
00:37
he knew that he’d be fired on the spot
00:39
if they were to do his background check
00:41
with this felonious assault on it so we
00:44
moved quickly we got the paperwork
00:45
together we got our motion date quickly
00:47
and i was able to expunge the case
00:49
remove it set it aside for my client’s
00:51
record
00:52
about a week before the client’s
00:55
background check was done
00:56
he still keeps me updated that
00:58
everything is going well
00:59
and it’s great to hear that i changed
01:02
his life and i was able to
01:04
make a huge difference in his family’s
01:06
life he had two or three disabled
01:08
children that
01:08
really depended on his ability to make
01:11
good money
01:12
and support them
