Local Expungement Practice
Clear your record in Wyoming County.
Wyoming is a small rural northeastern PA county along Route 6 and the Susquehanna's North Branch — petitions here mostly clear summary offenses, dismissed Tunkhannock misdemeanors, and ARD-completed DUIs from Route 29 and Route 6.
Every Wyoming County expungement petition runs through the Court of Common Pleas in Tunkhannock. We pull your certified criminal-history record from the Pennsylvania State Police, identify every eligible docket, draft the petition under 18 Pa.C.S. § 9122, file with the Wyoming County Clerk of Courts, and serve the District Attorney for objections.
We also handle Clean Slate sealing under Act 56 of 2018 and Act 1 of 2023 — including limited-access petitions for convictions that fall outside the automatic-sealing rules. After the order is signed we follow through with PSP, PennDOT, the AOPC, and the arresting agency to confirm the record is actually destroyed or sealed.

What we can clear from a Wyoming County record.
Non-convictions
Arrests that ended in dismissal, withdrawal, nolle prosequi, or acquittal — fully expungeable under 18 Pa.C.S. § 9122.
ARD completion
Charges resolved through Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition are eligible once ARD is successfully completed.
Summary offenses
Summary convictions can be expunged after five years arrest-free under § 9122(b)(3).
Juvenile records
Most juvenile adjudications are expungeable once the person turns 18 and meets the statutory waiting period.
Clean Slate sealing
Misdemeanors of the second/third degree and ungraded offenses sealed automatically after 10 conviction-free years (Act 56 / Act 1 of 2023).
Pardon-based expungement
Convictions cleared by gubernatorial pardon are expunged automatically under § 9122(a.1) — no petition required since June 11, 2024.
Not every record is eligible — most misdemeanor and felony convictions stay on the record unless cleared by pardon or sealed under Clean Slate. See our criminal defense overview and the DUI expungement guide for the most common scenarios we see.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Common questions about expungement and Clean Slate sealing in Wyoming County, PA — eligibility, cost, timing, and what happens after the order is signed.
Pennsylvania allows expungement of arrests that did not result in conviction, ARD dispositions after successful completion, summary offenses after five years arrest-free, and certain juvenile records. Convictions for most misdemeanors and ungraded offenses are not expunged but may be sealed under the Clean Slate Law (Act 56 of 2018 / Act 1 of 2023).
From filing the petition to entry of the order, most county expungements take 3 to 6 months. The court signs the order, then PSP, PennDOT, the arresting agency, and the AOPC must each destroy or seal their copies — that propagation typically takes another 30 to 90 days.
Expungement destroys the record so it does not appear on background checks. Clean Slate sealing limits public access but keeps the record visible to law enforcement and certain licensing boards. Misdemeanors of the second and third degree and ungraded offenses can be sealed automatically after ten conviction-free years; expungement is reserved for non-convictions, ARD, summaries, and limited categories.
Only DUI charges that ended in ARD, dismissal, withdrawal, or acquittal are eligible for expungement. A DUI conviction cannot be expunged, but a 'general impairment' conviction may be eligible for Clean Slate sealing after the ten-year conviction-free window. Act 58 of 2025 changes how a prior ARD counts as a prior offense — talk to counsel before petitioning.
Usually no. Most Pennsylvania expungement petitions are decided on the papers if the District Attorney does not object. If the DA objects, a brief hearing is scheduled — we appear for you in the county where the case originated.
Filing fees vary by county (typically $130–$200), and the certified-record fees and PSP processing add roughly another $50–$100. Our flat attorney fee covers petition drafting, filing, DA negotiations, and follow-through with PSP, PennDOT, and the AOPC to confirm the record was actually cleared.
