Clean Slate After Diversion: Sealing and Expunging Your Record
Completing diversion is a huge step. Clearing the paper trail is the last one.
What completion usually does
Dismissal prevents a conviction. Some statutes also restrict access to the arrest record automatically.
Petitioning to seal
Where sealing isn't automatic, a petition is filed with the court. Waiting periods and eligibility vary by state.
Frequently asked questions
Will employers see a dismissed case?
Possibly, until sealed. Many states limit employers' use of non-conviction records.
