An expungement will remove your arrest, conviction, or citation from the public view, meaning insurance companies, credit reporting agencies, and potential employers won\u2019t be able to access it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, expungements do cost money. The price will vary based on your individual case, but you\u2019ll definitely need to be ready to pay to have your record cleared.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a breakdown of all the costs associated with an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.haroldweiser.com\/criminal-defense-lawyer\/new-orleans-louisiana-expungement-attorney\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">expungement in Louisiana<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and how much you\u2019ll likely have to pay.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Background Check<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing you\u2019ll need to pay for is a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.haroldweiser.com\/criminal-defense-lawyer\/new-orleans-louisiana-expungement-attorney\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">background check.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In order to file for an expungement, you need to gather up information required by the court. A background check is one of those documents.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Jefferson Parish, a background check costs about $50. In all other parishes, it\u2019s about $26.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to the cost of the background check itself, you\u2019ll need to pay for the money order\u2013 that\u2019s $1.30, plus the postage to mail it to the Louisiana State Police, which is about $1.00.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.

In most cases, the court costs add up to $550.00, in addition to the two money orders ($2.60), as well as the postage (about $5.00).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re dealing with a DWI conviction (driving while intoxicated), there are a couple of extra steps. These will increase your court costs by $100, plus two more money orders ($2.60) and associated postage (about $5.00)<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Attorney Fees<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What you\u2019ll end up paying for your expungement largely depends upon how much your attorney charges, and this can range greatly.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some attorneys charge by the hour ($250.00 per hour is typical in Louisiana), while others provide a flat rate for certain services, including expungements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Weiser Law Firm, we offer a flat rate of for expungements, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/crescentcitylawfirm.com\/expungements-attorney-new-orleans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">which starts at $1550.00 and includes $550.00 in court costs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0 However, every case is different and we\u2019ll review your case to determine the complexity of hiding your criminal record before we quote you a price.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, we understand many people who ask for our help hiding their criminal records have financial challenges they are asking us to help them overcome.\u00a0 So, we offer a variety of payment plans with the ability to spread the payment out over the life of your case (typically 4-6 months) when necessary.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.

In Louisiana, a criminal record can create significant barriers to employment, housing, and educational opportunities. At Weiser Law Firm, we understand the challenges a criminal record can present, and we&#8217;re here to guide you through the process of <strong>expungement in Louisiana<\/strong>.<\/p><p data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:24\"><strong>What is Expungement?<\/strong><\/p><p data-sourcepos=\"9:1-9:251\">Expungement is a legal process that allows you to erase certain criminal records from your public record. It&#8217;s essentially a second chance, offering a fresh start for individuals who have paid their debt to society and are committed to moving forward.<\/p><p data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:42\"><strong>Why Consider Expungement in Louisiana?<\/strong><\/p><ul data-sourcepos=\"13:1-17:0\"><li data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:173\"><strong>Employment Opportunities:<\/strong> Many employers conduct background checks, and a criminal record can disqualify you from potential jobs. Expungement can remove this obstacle.<\/li><li data-sourcepos=\"14:1-14:115\"><strong>Housing Options:<\/strong> Landlords often run background checks, and a criminal record can limit your housing options.<\/li><li data-sourcepos=\"15:1-15:173\"><strong>Educational Advancement:<\/strong> Some educational institutions may consider criminal records during the admissions process. Expungement can improve your chances of acceptance.<\/li><li data-sourcepos=\"16:1-17:0\"><strong>Restoring Your Reputation:<\/strong> Clearing your record can help you rebuild your reputation and regain your sense of dignity.<\/li><\/ul><p data-sourcepos=\"18:1-18:49\"><strong>Who is Eligible for Expungement in Louisiana?<\/strong><\/p><p data-sourcepos=\"20:1-20:218\">Eligibility for expungement depends on various factors, including the type of offense, the length of time since the offense, and whether you have completed all terms of your sentence.
