When determining whether to seal a criminal record, the Court weighs many factors including: 

• the interests of the person filing to seal their record 
• the community’s interest in rehabilitating that person and reintegrating them back into society through education, employment, and housing 
• the community’s interest in retaining access to that person’s records including the interest of current or prospective employers in making fully informed hiring or job assignment decisions and the interest in promoting public safety

The Court may also consider additional factors including the circumstances of the alleged offense and the history and characteristics of the petitioner. Contact a Legal Service Provider to get more insight into what the Court may review in your particular case.
