One of the most frustrating parts of being convicted of a crime is having that crime on your record. Past convictions will show up on a background check and could affect your ability to get a job or a loan. You've already paid for your crime—you shouldn't have to live with that your whole life. You need a criminal defense attorney willing to work to get your record cleared.
In Utah, there is a process by which you can get certain convictions removed from your record, called expungement. Expungement is your chance to get your reputation back. Talk to a record expungement lawyer in Utah to see if you qualify to pursue a record expungement.
