Americans have a criminal record
If you have a criminal record, you may have been arrested but never charged, never prosecuted, or found guilty. Still, the incident could be preventing you from achieving your goals. This problem disproportionately plagues minority communities.
Expungement is not DIY-friendly, and private legal help is expensive. ExpungeMississippi.com was created to assist with information on expungements in Mississippi.

An expungement is the process used to erase a criminal record; it is a way to restore a person to the legal status they were in before the incident that generated the record. Following an expungement, you will never be guilty of perjury or false statement for failing to mention the expunged arrest or conviction. ( See Miss. Code Ann. § 99-19-71 )
A person is eligible for only one (1) felony expungement unless all of the convictions arose from the same facts or occurrence (as determined by the court).
The following felonies may not be expunged:
