Our criminal defense law firm who represents clients in Pennsylvania and New Jersey often receive questions about the pardon process. It’s probably one of the most common questions that we answer. Our law firm strives to provide high quality content to its clients.

In Pennsylvania, the Board of Pardons reviews criminal cases upon petitions. These petitions are filed by people who are usually unable to expunge their records through the normal expungement process in Pennsylvania.

You may recall that either a felony or misdemeanor conviction can’t be expunged; certain misdemeanor convictions are eligible for sealing but even that process doesn’t completely destroy the record. While a summary offense can be expunged an individual must wait five (5) years after their case’s disposition to apply for the expungement. During that five (5) years the individual must remain arrest free.
