How We Help

Breach / Fail to Comply

Records Destruction
If you have a record relating to a matter where there was no conviction, you may want to explore whether records destruction is possible. People often seek help because the process can be confusing and depends on the specific outcome and record type.

TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Say About Working With Us
You took the time to know me and know my case. I really, really feel that you cared about me and cared about giving me the best shot. Most people I spoke with didn't care the way you did. I felt like a number or something. But you took the time to get to know me. I really appreciate that. And I can't thank you enough. 10/10, would recommend. You can tell anyone I said so!
- J.F.
You're the first lawyer I spoke with who actually communicated, who actually slowed down to understand what happened, and game planned all the ways in which things could go in our favour, but as importantly, you game planned all the things that could have been an issue for us. Your planning and approach are amazing and really appreciated. Thank you
- B.J.
You were very clear and made me feel completely at ease with my case. Thank you for your patience, your help, your hard work, and your unwavering support and dedication to my case. I don’t know what we would have done without you. Thank you.
- H.C.
You're the only person who has ever gone through my case and told me everything about my matter. How we are going to go about it, what it all means...no one ever did that for me, except for you. You fought for me. I appreciate you. There are not many like you, that's for sure.
