You should hire either an expunction or consumer reporting attorney to assist you. An expunction attorney may be very similar to a criminal attorney as the matters of expunctions and criminal law tend to overlap. However, make sure you retain a criminal attorney who has experience handling these issues. The remedies tend to be administrative in nature, so it will take someone understanding the process to assist you. A consumer attorney could also help because they would be familiar with consumer reports, which can include criminal histories, and how to effective dispute them.
