Re: arrest record

If the charges arose in Ohio and have been dismissed, you can file to have the arrest record sealed. Unless you file, the arrest record remains open to the public.

Without knowing more specifics, I cannot tell you whether you need an attorney to help you with that or whether you can do it yourself. If you would to discuss the matter further, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Richard A. Cline
