Expungement is supposed to give you a fresh start. We want you to feel secure in the process from day one. That’s why we back every case with our money-back guarantee: if your expungement is denied for reasons outside of your control, we will refund your full legal fee.

Why Expunged Records Still Show Up—and How NSLF Fixes It
Many people are shocked to learn that even after their expungement order is granted, their criminal record still shows up in background checks or government databases. That’s because most firms stop once the judge signs the order.
We don’t. At NSLF, we take additional steps that other firms overlook:
-
We follow up with government agencies to ensure records are corrected.
-
We notify private background check companies.
-
We monitor to make sure your record doesn’t resurface.
This extra work is why our clients get real peace of mind, knowing their record is truly gone where it matters.
