Expungement — Sealing or erasing old arrest and conviction records. Expunging an arrest or criminal record means you can answer "no" to job application questions that ask if you've ever been arrested or convicted of a crime. Additionally, once your record is expunged, assuming you don't have any other convictions or arrests, nothing will appear on a background check on you.

Felony and misdemeanor offenses carry potentially serious consequences. The Kansas Sentencing Guidelines Act (KSGA) governs punishment for felony offenses. Gary D. Stone is a skilled criminal defense attorney who understands these ever-changing guidelines. He is able to navigate the complicated Kansas state court system and the federal courts in Missouri and Kansas.
