Clear My Criminal Record in West Virginia
If you’re searching for a way to “clear my criminal record,” you’re not alone. Thousands of West Virginians struggle with old charges that still appear on background checks—often long after the case was dismissed. Harclerode Law helps clients determine what can be cleared, what must be corrected, and what steps are needed to fully clean up a West Virginia criminal record.
What Does It Mean to Clear a Criminal Record?
Many people assume that once a charge is dismissed, it automatically disappears from their record—but in West Virginia, that’s rarely the case. Dismissed charges often remain visible on background checks, show up in online court databases, and can still influence employment, housing, and licensing decisions. Even a case that ended in your favor can create long-term problems if it isn’t formally expunged or corrected. Clearing your record ensures outdated or incorrect information doesn’t hold you back.
