Each year, the Office of the State Appellate Defender publishes an instruction guide for expunging criminal records. The attorneys with that office provide a valuable service to Illinois and should receive more recognition for their efforts.
The latest release from the appellate public defender’s is available here for download.
The legislature changes the expungement statute each year, and if you have a record to be expunged, you should read the public defender’s instruction packet.
The public defender has a very informative site and I recommend it. They also provide a list of attorneys who provide assistance with expungement.
