• APEX is dedicated to opening opportunities to individuals with criminal histories who wish to obtain gainful employment and overall economic mobility.
• An expungement seals a record and someone can check “no” on employment applications in the section asking if they have a criminal record. The process for an expungement takes 3-6 months.
• The process for a pardon usually takes over a year. It is “forgiveness” of the offense by the Governor but does not erase your record.
