Harris County Criminal Record Sealing

Houston Criminal Lawyer James (Jim) Sullivan frequently helps people to get their criminal records sealed (non-disclosed) by filing Petitions for Non-Disclosure. This is extremely important, especially in these tough economic times. It is not a surprise that employers are more likely to hire a job applicant who has never been arrested than someone who has been arrested and successfully completed a deferred adjudication probation. Perception can be everything in this process. Not having to list an arrest on a job application or to try to explain it away definitely can give that applicant a better chance at being hired.
