$1,800 flat fee, fully inclusive

One flat fee covers the entire process — filing, service of process, the SCOPE report, the DPS cashier's check, postage, copying, and all attorney time. If the court sets a hearing, your attorney attends at no additional charge. There is no added fee for multiple records or multiple courts.

The fee is fixed because the steps are fixed. Record sealing in Nevada follows a defined sequence, and the variables are knowable at the outset. What you pay reflects the actual work involved — not an estimate padded for uncertainty.

Where sealing makes the biggest difference

A sealed record is removed from the public background check systems that employers, landlords, and consumer reporting agencies use in their screening decisions. Once sealed, you can lawfully deny the existence of those cases in most contexts — employment applications, housing applications, and general inquiries.

The practical impact is most visible in employment and rental screening, where automated systems run checks against public databases and flag matches before a human ever reviews an application. Sealing removes the flag. It levels the field in situations where a prior record has been quietly closing doors without you being told why.

Sealing also restores your right to vote, hold public office, and serve on a jury if those rights were affected. It does not restore firearm rights lost through a felony or domestic violence conviction — that requires a pardon — and it does not eliminate immigration consequences.

How the process works

We begin with an eligibility review — pulling your case history, confirming waiting periods, identifying every agency that holds a copy of your record, and flagging anything that could block or delay the petition. Common blockers include unpaid fees, open newer cases, or active warrants. These need to be addressed before filing.

Once eligibility is confirmed, we prepare the petition, affidavit, and order. The paperwork must accurately list every case, every arrest, and every agency with a copy of your record. Errors push the process back months. We draft it correctly and submit it to the District Attorney for review and stipulation.

After the DA signs off, we take the endorsed paperwork to court. The judge signs in the overwhelming majority of eligible cases. We then distribute the signed order to every agency on the list and track compliance through completion — not just to the point of filing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common record sealing questions.

We handle any combination of records — one court, multiple courts, different counties. If your records span multiple Clark County courts, we can often prepare a combined sealing package filed through the Eighth Judicial District Court rather than separate filings to each court. The flat fee does not change.
Nevada does not use expungement as the standard remedy. The remedy people are usually referring to is record sealing. When a record is sealed, it is removed from most public background checks and you can lawfully deny the sealed case in most situations. Sealing does not rewrite history, and certain government agencies may still access sealed records in limited circumstances.
Eligibility depends on the type of offense and the required waiting period. The waiting period generally runs from when the case was closed or the sentence was completed — not the date of conviction. Once we have the case details, we can map out eligibility and a filing plan.
Nevada record sealing is handled as a complete package. If you have a newer case still pending, it can block sealing of an older record that would otherwise be eligible. You generally have to wait until the newer case is completed and eligible before the older case can be sealed alongside it.
A rough expectation is five to seven months from start to finish. That typically breaks down as about two months to gather intake records and receive the DPS criminal history report, one to two weeks to draft the petition, one to three months for prosecutor review and stipulation, one to four weeks for the court to sign the order, and about a month to confirm agency compliance.
No. We run the process. The client side is usually limited to a short intake, signing paperwork, and helping us identify prior case numbers and courts if you have them. We obtain the DPS-related items and handle drafting, filing, service, and follow-through.
Record sealing removes eligible cases from most public background checks used by employers, landlords, and consumer reporting agencies. In most situations, you are legally allowed to deny the existence of sealed cases. Sealing protects your privacy for employment and housing decisions and prevents outdated information from remaining publicly searchable.
Record sealing does not restore firearm rights lost due to a felony or domestic violence conviction. It does not eliminate immigration consequences — sealed cases may still be considered by immigration authorities. It also does not erase guilt for purposes of future criminal proceedings, where sealed convictions can still be seen internally. Many professional licensing boards also require disclosure of prior criminal matters even if sealed.
The most common issues involve unpaid jail fees, probation fees, or house arrest costs discovered partway through the process. These are usually fixable once identified. Clerical issues — such as fingerprints that cannot be read by DPS — can also create delays. A new arrest after you hire us is a more serious issue, as it can reset eligibility timelines and may prevent completion until the new matter resolves.
A SCOPE report is a Clark County-specific criminal history record that supplements the statewide DPS criminal history. It helps identify cases that may not appear clearly on other records and ensures nothing is missed when preparing the petition.
In the overwhelming majority of cases, the court is required to grant record sealing once eligibility is properly established and the prosecuting agency has signed a stipulation. Denials are rare and are usually tied to eligibility errors or unresolved issues — which is why correct sequencing and careful review matter from the outset.
