Erase Embarrassing Records from Background Checks
If your past is holding back your job prospects, we can help. At Liberators Criminal Defense, we offer fast, attorney-managed record sealing services that remove eligible arrests and convictions from public view — so they no longer appear on background checks for employers, landlords, and most other places. You've done your time. Now take the next step and clear the path forward.
What is the Price for Liberators Criminal Defense to Seal Your Records?
Answer: $1,250.00. In most cases—including when you have multiple criminal records from different cases—we charge a low, flat fee of $1,250.00 to completely seal your Nevada criminal case and arrest records. This fee includes all filing costs, postage, processing fees, and third-party payments. No surprises, no upsells, and no hidden costs. Just a simple, transparent path to clearing your name.
Flat Fee Includes all Costs and Filing Fees
Our flat fee includes Liberators paying all costs and filing fees on your behalf. If you were forced to pay these costs yourself, as many competitors will require, you can expect to pay up to:
- $280 Filing and Service Fees to the Clark County District Court
- $27 Cashier's Check to the Nevada Department of Public Safety
- $12 SCOPE Fee
- $40 in Approximate Mailing and Postage Fees
Total Approximate Fees Saved: $359.00
In other words, with our flat fee of $1,250, approximately $359 goes directly to facilitating the successful record sealing process. That reduces the actual attorney fee to just around approximately $891—a far lower rate than most of our competitors, many of whom charge $2,000 or more before adding in court and processing costs.
What is Record Sealing?
If you've been searching for “expungement” in Nevada, here's what you need to know: Nevada does not offer expungement. Instead, we have a process called record sealing. Record sealing hides your criminal history from public view — it's not destroyed, but it's no longer visible to most employers, landlords, or private background check companies. For all practical purposes, a sealed record allows you to legally say, in most situations, that the arrest or conviction never occurred. It's a powerful way to move on from the past with a clean slate.
What are the Benefits of a Record Sealing?
For most people, the biggest relief is no longer having an embarrassing arrest or conviction show up on a background check. This can make a decisive difference when applying for a job, signing a lease, or other circumstances in which you need peace of mind that your old mistakes will not be freely available for public view.
NRS 179.285(1)(a): In fact, under NRS 179.285, once your record is sealed, you are legally allowed to answer “no” when asked whether you've been arrested or convicted — with limited exceptions for specific agencies or circumstances.
NRS 179.285(1)(B): A person whose civil rights have not yet been restored will immediately regain the right to vote, hold public office, and serve on a jury.
A sealed record can't be seen by landlords, most employers, or casual record searches. For many, it brings something even more important: peace of mind. It's a formal recognition that the mistakes of the past no longer define you today.
What Does Record Sealing Not Do?
It's important to understand what record sealing can and cannot accomplish. Sealing your record does not erase or vacate your conviction — legally, you are still considered guilty. It simply restricts who can see it. Most background checks won't find it, and you can often deny it occurred. But certain consequences remain.
Gun Rights: A sealed record will not restore your gun rights if you've been convicted of a felony or domestic battery.
Immigration Consequences: Sealing a conviction will not stop immigration consequences like deportation if your record includes offenses that affect your legal status.
No Expungement: And again, it does not “expunge” your record — Nevada doesn't offer that remedy
If your goal is to fully clear your name, restore your gun rights, or seek forgiveness from the state, a Petition for a Pardon may be necessary. We handle those too, and we're happy to talk you through which option is right for you.
The Race to Seal Your Records
At Liberators Criminal Defense, we make the record sealing process as simple and efficient as possible—while handling every technical step for you. Here's how it works:
Step 1: We start with fingerprints and paperwork. You'll provide us with a fingerprint card and sign a Limited Power of Attorney, allowing us to act on your behalf specifically for obtaining your criminal history and filing the record sealing petition. You'll also fill out the Nevada DPS-006 form, which we'll help you complete. Once we have all of that, we prepare a $27 cashier's check and send your materials to the Nevada Department of Public Safety (DPS).
Step 2: We simultaneously request your SCOPE report. Using your driver's license, place of birth, and other necessary information (which you've already provided), we submit a direct request to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. You don't need to fill anything out or go pick it up—we take care of it all.
Step 3: We wait for your reports to come back. Typically, the Criminal History Report (CHR) takes 35–45 days to be returned from DPS. Once both the CHR and the SCOPE report are received, we immediately begin preparing your Petition to Seal Records.
Step 4: We review, draft, and submit the Petition. After confirming that the documents are accurate and locating any associated court cases, we draft your Petition, Proposed Order, and compile all supporting documents. These are then submitted to the Clark County District Attorney's Office.
Step 5: We wait for the D.A.'s review. The timeline for this step depends on the DA's backlog. They will either approve the Petition or object. If they object, they must explain their reasoning, and we can respond accordingly.
Step 6: Filing in District Court. Once the Petition is approved, we file it in District Court as a new civil case. We also submit the Proposed Order for the judge's signature.
Step 7: Judge reviews and signs the Order. If the judge agrees that your record is eligible for sealing, they sign the Order. We then go in person to the court to obtain a certified copy.
Step 8: Final Step—Mass Notification and Enforcement. Once the signed Order is in hand, we draft a Notice of Entry of Order and send out mailings to all relevant agencies. This makes the sealing legally binding and ensures your record is officially sealed in every system that matters.
