HOW IT WORKS

How It Works

Attorney-represented Oregon expungement, start to finish. We handle the filing as your attorney of record.

1

Free Eligibility Check

Answer a few quick questions about your record. Our system evaluates your answers against Oregon's set-aside statute (ORS 137.225) to determine whether you likely qualify. It takes about 10 minutes, costs nothing, and requires no account or credit card.

  • Instant results with clear explanations
  • No personal information required at this stage
  • If you don't qualify yet, we explain why and when you may
2

You Hire Us — Sign the Engagement Agreement

If you're likely eligible and want representation, you hire Oregon Expungement Lawyers. You review and sign a written engagement agreement that sets the scope of work and the flat fee. An attorney-client relationship begins only once that agreement is signed. Our flat fee is $700 to set aside your record — one price, period.

  • Flat $700 fee — one price, no hourly surprises
  • We fight for you from this point on
  • You're represented by an Oregon attorney from this point on
3

You Get Fingerprinted

Oregon requires a fingerprint-based background check for a set-aside. You'll get fingerprinted at a LiveScan location and pay that vendor directly — it's a small cost, separate from our flat fee and not paid to us. We tell you exactly where to go and handle the Oregon State Police background-check paperwork.

  • Quick visit to a LiveScan location near you
  • Small vendor fee paid directly to them — separate from our flat fee
  • We prepare and submit the Oregon State Police background-check materials

We Prepare Your Motion to Set Aside

As your attorney of record, we prepare your motion to set aside under ORS 137.225, along with the supporting affidavit and the order for the judge to sign. We gather the case information we need from you, confirm the facts of your record, and draft the pleadings to the court's requirements.

  • Motion, affidavit, and proposed order prepared for you
  • We confirm case numbers, dates, and county facts before filing
  • You review what we're filing on your behalf
5

We File With the Court and Serve the District Attorney

We handle all the filings and court appearances from start to finish. We file your motion with the circuit court in the county where your case was handled, and we serve the District Attorney's office as required by statute. Because we are your attorney of record, the court and the DA correspond with our office — not with you.

  • Filed with the circuit court in your county
  • District Attorney served as required under ORS 137.225
  • If a hearing is required, we fight for you

The Court Decides — We Send You the Order

The District Attorney has time to respond, and the court reviews the motion. When the judge signs the order setting aside your record, we receive it, save a copy for you, and send you the signed order. We keep you updated on where your case stands throughout.

  • We receive the court's order and forward it to you
  • Updates from intake through the court's decision
  • The DA has 120 days to respond; timelines vary by county

What it costs

We represent you for a flat $700 to set aside your record under ORS 137.225 — one price, period. Representation begins only when a signed engagement agreement is in place.

Prefer to handle it yourself? Oregon Expungement Center has an automated system you can use that prepares and mails all your forms to the right places, for $249.
