In an August 2009 Hennepin County Expungement case, Max Keller’s client was employed for several years, in a good job with several children to support. Because of two old theft convictions suddenly revealed by a background check, his employer suddenly let him go, even though he had accumulated years of good service and promotions. Officially, the client was just “suspended” pending his attempt to expunge or wipe out the convictions. After writing a detailed affidavit for our client showing his military service and how he had rehabilitated himself, and filing an Expungement Petition to which the Affidavit was attached, a hearing was held. Earlier this fall, Max Keller convinced the judge at the hearing to expunge of both of the client’s theft convictions, thereby allowing our client to get back to work and once again support his family and pay his bills.
