Oklahoma’s Newly Loosened Criminal Record Expungement Rules Benefit Many

Signing of Senate Bill 650 is helping many law-abiding Oklahomans get their lives back on track after arrests, acquittals, or sentences served, Tulsa Criminal Lawyers Law Firm reports

TULSA, Okla. – November 13, 2018 /MarketersMedia/ —

A criminal conviction, or even simply an arrest, can make life a lot more difficult for many years to come. Get your criminal record sealed, however, and employers, landlords, lenders, and others will inevitably be a lot more open-minded. The Tulsa Criminal Lawyers Law Firm regularly helps Oklahomans secure the relief that a legally binding expungement can provide.

With 2018’s Oklahoma Senate Bill 650 making it easier than before to have many criminal records sealed, doing everything possible to set the stage for a future expungement will always be wise. Assault and battery criminal lawyers, for example, can benefit their clients not only by having charges reduced or dropped entirely, but also by paving the way to have the associated records sealed thereafter. A quick consultation with an attorney at the Tulsa Criminal Lawyers Law Firm will reveal both how best to defend against criminal charges and ways of minimizing negative side effects of all kinds.

“The signing of Senate Bill 650 into law was an important step forward for the criminal justice system in Oklahoma,” said Tulsa Criminal Lawyers Law Firm representative Ian Smiles. “Far too many have in the past suffered overly long-lasting consequences for minor criminal convictions or even arrests where charges were eventually dropped. Senate Bill 650 is going to make it easier for those who have paid their dues or who were never judged guilty to get on with their lives as productive, law-abiding citizens. Getting in touch with criminal defense lawyers near you as soon as possible will always be the best way to ensure that this especially important form of relief will be available in the future.”

Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statues describes 14 distinct situations where the courts can order a petitioner’s criminal record expunged, or sealed such that only authorized law enforcement officers and other authorities can view it. Signed into law on April 26 of this year by governor Mary Fallin, Oklahoma Senate Bill 650 significantly reduced the delay before many of those who not been convicted of other crimes can request expungement.

As one of the state’s top criminal defense firms, Tulsa Criminal Lawyers Law Firm is well positioned to help clients seek relief under the newly amended version of the statute. Attorneys at the firm also consistently factor the future possibility of expungement into their legal strategies and tactics, thereby providing another valuable form of support to those they represent.
