A Pennsylvania Motion to Expunge is a legal request to seal or erase criminal records. This motion is used to ask the court to either completely erase or seal the criminal record from the public view. There are two types of Pennsylvania Motions to Expunge: Expungement for Dismissed Charges and Expungement for Conviction. The Expungement for Dismissed Charges is a motion to remove a criminal record that resulted in a dismissal or the charges were withdrawn. The Expungement for Conviction is a motion to remove a criminal record that resulted in a conviction. The process of filing a Pennsylvania Motion to Expunge involves filing the paperwork with the court, completing a criminal background check, and appearing in court for a hearing. After the court reviews the motion, it will decide whether to grant the expungement request or not.
