Expungement 30%

Under certain conditions, Texas allows you to file a petition to have your arrest and/or criminal record hidden from public access or even deleted. If you can meet the conditions set forth by Texas law, you can petition a court to have your record deleted. Removing a criminal record completely is known as expungement and, once the order of record expungement has been issued, it is as if you were never arrested or convicted.

Easiest Legal Experience of My Life!

Getting my misdemeanor sealed has truly been life-changing. What once felt like a constant shadow over my opportunities is finally behind me. The process was smoother than I expected, and the communication throughout was excellent, Brian kept me informed every step of the way. The sense of relief and... freedom I feel now is incredible. I’m so grateful for the chance to move forward without my past holding me back. This has opened new doors for my career, my confidence, and my peace of mind. It’s been deeply impactful and empowering.

Outstanding Attorney with Quick Response Time

Brian was extremely quick to respond, often within minutes. He was professional, helpful, and answered every question clearly. The whole process with him was smooth and easy, and I really appreciated how he handled everything. I definitely recommend him.

Expungement, a long time coming

Having dealt with multiple lawyers on my false arrest case when the County Sherrif raided my home of the wrong address. I was very happy to find a lawyer that could end my two years of metal anguish and frustration with the Sherrif Department and County Prosecutors false testimony. Once hired, Brian ...Laviage won an expungement for me within a few short months to clear my name and make it easy for me to find a job again.

Great Experience

Brian Laviage was outstanding throughout my expungement process. He was responsive from day one, clearly explained everything, and made the entire experience stress-free. His fees were very reasonable, especially considering he handled everything—including court appearances. Within a month, my record... was sealed and I felt a huge weight lifted. If you need a lawyer who’s affordable, communicative, and truly effective, I highly recommend Brian.
