How to Clear Your Adult and Juvenile Criminal Records [Paperback]

William Rinehart (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This book is a well-researched primer on how to expunge or seal state criminal records. The author, an ex-convict, claims to have reduced three felonies and 30 misdemeanors to an essentially clear record without the assistance of a lawyer. Though he provides sample court motions, the book falls short with respect to federal convictions, citing federal remedies but giving no case citations. It also fails to explain how to file a federal Freedom of Information Act request or use an information broker to copy representative court pleadings. There are some minor statutory citation errors in the text, but the author has done a commendable job of taking an essential but little-known subject and reducing it to its basics. The text lists statutes and regulations for all 50 states. Recommended for general collections.?Harry Charles, Attorney, St. Louis

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference, as long as your crimes are state crimes, October 20, 1998

This review is from: How to Clear Your Adult and Juvenile Criminal Records (Paperback)

Fantastic, practical where-to-begin guide for clearing your adult and juvenile criminal records. However, if you have a FEDERAL felony conviction (as I do) don't bother buying the book. The only way a FEDERAL felony conviction can be removed from your record is through Presidential Pardon. The only way you'll ever receive a Presidential Pardon is through a lifetime of good works, or massive campaign contributions.

I found this book to be very informative and helpful. If you are amongst those individuals who have a criminal record and have been wondering if how you need to go about removing criminal records this book will definitely assist you in the process.

This book was so enlightening that I read the book in about two hours. It was an easy read and I was unable to put the book down. I has information for each of the 50 states. If you can find it, buy it. It's worth it. It is well worth the read. If I could give it 10 stars I would have.
