Nothing holding you back

If you were arrested, convicted, or even if you plead guilty as a first-time criminal offender and received probation, contact The Law Office of James Dixon.

There is a chance you can still protect yourself from losing your job or source of income, housing, or license with an expungement of your criminal record.

With an expungement, all records that pertain to the specific case can be removed from the court for public use and cannot be used against you if you are arrested in the future.

It is my job to make sure that

your rights are protected

and you receive fair treatment by the court.

Is a drug conviction eligible for expungement?

Juveniles

You may have your criminal charges expunged if the charges did not result in adjudication (a conviction). This means your drug charges can be expunged.
In Louisiana, juveniles can have their records expunged if they meet the following criteria:
- For misdemeanors, you must wait until two years have passed after the date you were convicted and you must have completed your sentence for the most recent judgement against you;
- For a felony conviction/adjudication, you must wait at least five years after the conviction, you must not must any new convictions, and you cannot be facing any new charges.
  - If you were adjudicated guilty of murder, manslaughter, a sex crime, kidnapping or armed robbery you are not eligible for an expungement.

Adults

A convicted person’s records may be expunged if:

- The time limitation for initiating prosecution has expired or if prosecution has been instituted, but the charge were dismissed, the judge granted a motion to quash, or you were found not guilty (acquitted).
- If you have been arrested for a felony drug charge, you may request expungement if the prosecutor does not prosecute (refuses the charge), or the prosecution has been instituted and these proceedings have been dismissed, the judge granted a sustained of a motion to quash, or you were found not guilty (acquitted).

How Much Does an Expungement Cost in Louisiana?

We offer a flat rate for expungements, which starts at $2,100 and $600 filing fee.

We reserve the right to review your case to determine whether your case is eligible for this flat rate.

James Dixon Law understands that many of the people we are helping with expungements are in difficult financial situations. Please ask about payment plans during your consultation.

An average expungement takes between 4 to 6 months to be completed.

***Please note that expungements do not guarantee the reinstatement of the right to lawfully possess a firearm under Louisiana and Federal laws.
