COST OF EXPUNGING A CRIMINAL CONVICTION | Utah Attorney

expungement icon

Required Costs:

  • Application for Certificate of Eligibility:  $65
  • Fingerprinting from Local Law Enforcement: ~$10
  • BCI Fee for Issuing Certificate: $65
  • Court Filing Fee: $150
  • Certified Copy Fee: ~$5 x 8 copies: $40.
APPROXIMATE TOTAL COSTS: $330

My Attorney Fees

  • Typically around $500 (depending on location and type of conviction)

APPROXIMATE TOTAL COSTS and FEES for Most Cases: $830

When comparing my fees with other attorneys or “expungement services” make sure to pay attention to what’s included.  Some expungement services quote a rate which does not include any costs or includes only the court filing fee.  The amounts above are ALL costs associated with the expungement process (except maybe for postage stamps). Contact me to get an exact quote and get started on your expungement, or you can go back to my general Expungement page for more info.

Courts Where I Take Cases

I am licensed to practice criminal law anywhere in Utah, but my office is in Salt Lake City so I focus my defense practice on Salt Lake County and the surrounding counties: Weber, Davis, Utah, Summit, Wasatch, Tooele.

That includes any of the state, city, or federal courts located in Salt Lake City, West Jordan, South Jordan, West Valley, Heber, Park City, Provo, Ogden, Farmington, Bountiful, Holladay, Cottonwood Heights, Murray, Millcreek, South Salt Lake, Grantsville, Tooele, Orem, American Fork, Sandy, Draper, Centerville, Layton, Kaysville, and anywhere else within an hour's drive of Salt Lake. I'll also go down to Carbon County (Price and Helper), because I like that drive!

For locations in Utah outside that area, just contact me and we'll talk about it.
