McKinney, Texas, Lawyers Helping with Criminal Record Sealing

When their child has been charged with a juvenile offense, many parents worry that the charge will follow them forever. At the McKinney, Texas, law firm of Daniel & Harrison PLLC, we are experienced criminal law attorneys and parents ourselves. We know that people often make mistakes when they are young, and we believe that they should not be penalized for those mistakes forever. That's why we offer knowledgeable and experienced legal help with the legal sealing of juvenile records.

Texas Record Sealing

Texas law allows some juvenile records to be sealed. When the court orders record sealing, the juvenile records generally become unavailable to the public at large. However, the law under which records can be sealed can seem complicated and we recommend the legal guidance of an experienced lawyer. Most Texas juvenile courts will only seal records if the juvenile (and their attorney) apply to the court. Often, two years must have gone by since the minor completed probation. Further, the court often cannot seal records for a felony unless the child is 21 years old or older when he or she makes the request and his or her case was never transferred to adult court.

With over 35 years of combined experience, attorneys at Daniel & Harrison PLLC know the law on record sealing. We use our combined knowledge of criminal defense and the juvenile court system to get the best results possible. Our clients' continued success is the focus of what we do. We make sure to answer any questions you may have and to stand by you throughout the process.
