Interview Transcript
Jessica Ambuehl: Okay, so let’s talk about cost. Money’s always a big topic for everybody in life. How much would it cost if I wanted to expunge something in Missouri?
Chris Combs: Sure. So a lot is baked into that.
The filing fee alone – we have to draft a petition and file it – but the filing fee alone is about $300 to $500 depending on the jurisdiction. We go all over the state, so obviously that would vary in cost.
But your average cost for us to draft a petition, file it, then we have to prepare our client for a full blown hearing, have the hearing, get the order of expungement, and serve that on all the proper agencies so they know to expunge the arrest. You’re typically looking at about $3,500.
Again, that can go up or down slightly depending on the situation.
