How much does it cost to expunge my record? 4 Answers as of March 05, 2012

Varies based on the number of parties to be served. There is a filing fee, service fees, and then the lawyer fees which vary, too. Contact a couple of local lawyers to get fee quotes.

It depends on jurisdiction, the attorney you hire, the statutory fees, and whether or not you were discharged. Finally, a Felony cost more than a misdemeanor in some places. We simply need more information to answer. But as a guideline think of it this way. $350-500 for the filing fee, service is $15 per party (plan between 7 and 12). This is just the money given to the court, no lawyer's fees yet. Your lawyer will spend at least a hour looking up your eligibility to determine if this case is ripe for expungement or Non-Disclosure (there is a legal difference) and calculating discharge, another 30 minutes preparing a discharge order if needed, then drafting the Motion to expunge (or Motion to Non-Disclose) will take between 1.5-2.0 hours, looking up the TRN and other matters may add some time. Then add in the time you spend on the phone with the lawyer, or in his/her office. Add in the filing cost (if it is electronically filed) copy cost. Finally, a conference with the DA's office, and a hearing, preparing the order, and ensuring all of the right documents and signed and served on the right parties and you have a total of between 5 and 10 hours of legal work at the attorney's current billing rate. Short version: $500 in cost + 10 hours are the usual billing rate in your area should get the job done and if you are lucky, you may get away with less.

$2000. 500 down and I will call you in about 4 months whne it is ready and all signed and just waiting on the Judge to sign it. It is absolutely mandatory if you got your case dimissed, no billed, or found not guilty.

Filing fee varies on the county. Around $200 to $300.
