Expungement Medford

Clear your Oregon record and move forward with confidence. If you have an old arrest or conviction in Jackson County, Oregon law (ORS 137.225) may allow you to set it aside, commonly called an expungement. Oregon Gun Law helps you file, serve, and finalize your petition so you can move on with a clean record.

Oregon Gun Law focuses solely on Oregon-specific record relief and rights restoration. Led by attorney Shawn Kollie, we’ve guided hundreds of Oregonians through expungements, felony reductions, and firearm-rights restoration statewide. We handle every step in plain English, from your first intake to the court’s final order.

How Expungement Will Help You
  • Employment & Housing: Remove old convictions from background checks.

  • Firearm & Hunting Rights: A set-aside often restores eligibility for firearm ownership.

  • Peace of Mind: Start fresh without past records following you.

Understanding Expungement in Oregon (ORS 137.225)

Oregon law allows certain arrests, charges, or convictions to be set aside meaning they are legally treated as if they never occurred.

SB 397 (2021) shortened waiting periods and removed court filing fees.

You still pay a small Oregon State Police background-check fee.

Each county’s review timeline can differ.
