MN criminal lawyer, Ryan Garry, explains how the Minnesota Legislature recently passed a new expungement law. Bottom-line: not all crimes can be expunged under the new law. He clarifies that not all prior offenses are eligible for expungement. While the legislature enacted a new expungement statute in January 2015 that significantly benefits individuals seeking relief, the law specifically governs which offenses may be expunged and which remain ineligible.
