Oklahoma Statute Offers Fresh Start This month, thousands of Oklahomans will get the chance for a fresh start. As of Nov. 1, a change in the law to Title 22 O.S. Section 18 “Expungement of Criminal Records” will go into effect, easing the restrictions on clearing nonviolent felonies from their record. For so many people with nonviolent felonies in their past who have gotten their lives back on track, this is incredible news. WHAT’S CHANGED Previously, in Oklahoma, you needed to obtain a full pardon to expunge your felony record, something not easily achieved. You also had to have no other felony convictions in your history and no misdemeanors in the past 15 years. On top of all of this, 10 years had to elapse from the moment you completed your sentence before you could even begin the process of seeking expungement. Great News for Nonviolent Felons
NOT SURE IF YOU’RE ELIGIBLE? The law can be confusing, and the last thing you want to do is spend the time, money, and energy seeking an expungement only to find that you don’t meet the full requirements. That’s why our contract counsel Kyle Killam is waving his consultation fees for November and December to help former nonviolent felons find out if they are eligible for this opportunity. READY TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP? If you are eligible for expungement under this new law, we want to help you clear your name as soon as possible. That’s why, for the next two months, we’ll be offering our assistance in seeking a criminal expungement at a reduced rate.

Now you do not need a full pardon to clear your nonviolent felony conviction.

Best of all, you can seek expungement a mere five years after serving your sentence. Suddenly, a whole swath of formerly ineligible expungement candidates are going to be afforded the chance to get their lives back on track.
