Sealing a Conway Criminal Case

Arkansas Code § 16-90-1401 et seq. lays out how a person can ask the court to seal or expunge an old case. Once sealed, the case drops off the public view of ARCH and Search ARCourts.

Eligibility depends on the offense, the time since the case ended, and full payment of fines and costs. Conway residents who want to file a sealing petition can get help from the Center for Arkansas Legal Services at (501) 376-3423 or Legal Aid of Arkansas at (870) 972-9224.
