Common questions about case results
What is a grand jury no-bill?
A no-bill means the grand jury declined to indict on the allegation presented. A grand jury does not decide guilt or innocence.
Does a dismissal automatically clear my record?
No. Dismissal and record clearing are separate issues. Eligibility for an expunction or an order of nondisclosure must be evaluated for the particular case.
Can I expect the same result in my case?
No result can be promised. The charge, evidence, procedural history, and individual circumstances all matter. A consultation is a chance to discuss what needs to be reviewed in your case.
Let's talk about your next step.
