Sealed records for Domestic battery
April 2000 my brother had a domestic battery charge....after fine, anger mangement classes and community service he has met his terms of the conviction. Advice from a lawyer had told him that seeled records happen after 5 years automatically in Las Vegas, NV. Is this true or do you have to petition for this to be done? Yhnx
Sealing Domestic Violence Conviction - Nevada
Information on the Clark County Website suggests that a motion is required, and that there is a seven year waiting period before domestic violence battery misdemeanor convictions may be sealed. Check with the lawyer to see if there is an exception for the specific type of charge to which a plea was entered or for the sentence given, or if arrangements were made at the time of sentencing.
