A criminal record — even one based on an arrest without a conviction — can have a serious, lasting impact on your life. It can affect your career, education, housing, finances, and even personal relationships.
Many people are surprised to learn that simply being arrested often creates a public record, even if you were never prosecuted or found guilty. If your case did move forward in court, there will be a record of those proceedings and their outcome — whether you were convicted, placed on probation, found not guilty, or had your case dismissed.
In most situations, these records do not go away on their own. This means that employers, landlords, banks, and even colleges can easily access your history through background checks. Without action, this record can follow you for years, limiting your opportunities and preventing you from fully moving forward.
