Felony Reduction and Expungement, FBI Record Corrected

Understanding the Delay Between Expungement Orders and Record Processing

Case Background

Our client had an older criminal record that included a felony Attempt to Elude conviction, along with other criminal convictions. We pursued two forms of relief on the client's behalf: reduction of the felony conviction to a misdemeanor and expungement of eligible cases.

Those court filings were successful. The felony conviction was reduced to a misdemeanor, and the eligible matters were set aside. However, obtaining favorable court orders was only part of the work required to fully correct the client's record.

When we later reviewed the client's criminal-history information, we found that the state record did not accurately reflect all the relief that had been granted. An improper flag remained on the record, and part of the arrest history also needed correction. This meant the client's background record still did not fully match the court results.

Rights Restoration Outcome

We followed up with Oregon State Police to address the reporting errors and provided the information needed to correct the criminal-history record. Oregon State Police then updated the record and confirmed that the improper flag had been removed.

We also obtained additional FBI background reports to make sure the corrected information carried through to the federal record. After further review, the final FBI report confirmed that the record had been properly updated and the prior flag was no longer present.

The matter shows why successful reduction and expungement orders require additional follow-through. In this case, we not only obtained the court relief, but also worked through the state and federal record-correction process so the client's official criminal history accurately reflected the results.

"Lohrke Law made this whole process very easy for me and would always keep me in the loop about how the process was moving. Jesse and Ashley were very kind, professional and efficient. I'm so grateful for their services and professionalism. Highly recommend!"

Maridee

"Professional upstanding experienced Attorney! Mr. Lohrke exceeded my expectations with his knowledge along with great communication and feedback to any questions I have had. I found Lohrke Law to be more than generous with affordable representation!"

Tammy W.

"Lohrke law was great! I've been trying to get information on state gun laws for years with no such luck. I scheduled a phone call with Lohrke law and got great feedback and direction. These guys are good."

Jeff D.

"Earlier this year, I retained the services of Jesse Lohrke for an old legal issue that has prevented me from purchasing firearms or hunting. From the moment I stepped foot in the Office of Jesse and his team, I was treated with nothing but kindness, professionalism, understanding. Jesse's paralegal at the front desk in particular, has kept me abreast of each step in the process with true compassion, concern, and professionalism. The cost, process, and timing, have been exactly as I was quoted. I feel like I could not have found a better set of hands to deal with my legal issue than Jesse and his team."

D.B.V.

"I live in Florida but called Jesse Lohrke with some issues with a past Oregon record and expungement that I wanted to take care of. Jesse took the time to look up my record, explain everything to me in detail, including challenges I may face, and despite being able to do it himself, thought it would be in my best interest to use another lawyer in the county of the issues since there are some unique challenges specific to Marion County. That showed me a lot about the integrity of this firm. Once I get certain things resolved, I will absolutely be using Jesse Lohrke for my record expungement!"

Ashley C.
Florida

"I would like to express to you and your staff my gratitude for your help in restoring my gun rights. In December I was able to purchase my first legal handgun, and tonight in the mail I received my concealed carry license for the state of Oregon. My only regret is I didn't pursue this further at an earlier date, apparently though God had a different path that led me to you. I have passed on your name and website to a few individuals, explaining how you helped me. Again, thank you very much."

"Working with Lohrke Law and his firm to have my record set aside was an excellent experience. From the start, he provided clear, step-by-step information about the entire process and made sure I understood what to expect along the way. Anytime I had questions, he was quick to respond and always willing to help. Having my record set aside has already opened the door to better job opportunities and given me a true fresh start. I'm very grateful for Lohrke's professionalism, guidance, and support throughout the process. I highly recommend his firm to anyone looking to have their record set aside—you'll be in great hands."

Jessica L.

"Really happy with the help and service I received from Jesse and his office. He successfully got every conviction/arrest off my record and he got it done pretty quick (really depends on the court) but he did his part in the beginning and end very quick and I didn't have to wait too long on the Court. Now mine says "NO RECORD FOUND." If your convictions are eligible and you want to hire someone to help, Jesse knows how to do it. Dealing with him and his office was easy, they're professionals...thanks for the help!"

Geddy J.

"Absolute superheroes work here. I hope every employee wins the lottery and has perfect health. Got robbery expunged, it was a bs charge to begin with, but regardless it was my third felony across two states (I was a wild child) and it has been wiped. I paid $1500 flat, the results are worth so much more to me, I cant begin to explain. 7/5 stars, 110% recommend. Thank you Lohrke."

Chance V.

"Jesse guided me through a very messy and challenging DHS dependency case, and I feel incredibly lucky to have had him represent me. He helped me win one of my kids back during the case itself and then preserved my rights and set me up perfectly to win in the appeal process. Throughout the entire case, Jesse was respectful of me and my wishes for my family, and how I wanted to approach my case. He's not afraid to take a case to trial, and he's good at it. To put it simply, Jesse Lohrke is a badass attorney, and I wish anyone going through a legal case could have an attorney like him."

T.G.
Dependency Client, Bend, Oregon

"First off I would like to say thank you for the help. Great knowledge and very helpful through my situation. Jesse actually cared and helped me very much. If you are looking for a great and professional lawyer, give him a call and see if he fits your situation. I will definitely be a returning client of his if I need help with any other legal situations."

Skyler W.

"I'm very satisfied with how my expungement was handled, they were very professional and helped ease a lot of anxiety I had throughout the process. Thank you so much for everything!"

Michael J.

"Solid work A+++ Jesse erased a lengthy criminal record for myself and a friend in multiple states in a short time for a good price. I would highly recommend Lohrke Law to anyone cleaning up a criminal record. Just call and leave a voicemail and they'll call you back. This is the place to go."

David

"Jesse Lohrke was so awesome to work with and answered all my questions thru out the whole process. He made sure I was aware of how everything worked in the 3 different counties. He was on it when I asked if there was anything he could do to get Multnomah county to speed up the process and he filed a motion and the judge signed it! Thank you very much and I would highly recommend him to anyone."
