When people are convicted of drug crimes, the crime usually appears on their criminal records. In most circumstances, this former crime could prevent people from gaining employment or other benefits.

However, the drug crime can be removed from someone's criminal record in many circumstances. The process of removing the crime is known as expungement. For most people seeking expungement, they will be required to appear before a judge and argue their case. 

If you or anyone you has considered removing a drug crime from your record, contact the Rhode Island expungement lawyer James Powderly at 401-662-9006.
