It has been a nightmare dealing with the wreckage from my past. It was me, with the support of my family, who did the footwork to rebuild my life after the mistake(s) I made. I became active in church and community service. I became a reliable employee and a great worker. I became a good brother to my siblings and a good son to my mom and Dad. However it was Higbee and Associates who really organized this information into a statement of who I really am today and conveyed this to the courts. Without Higbee and Associates I still would have been a great guy who was atoning for past mistakes, but the judge would never have been made aware.
Higbee and Associates gave me hope. Hope for myself and hope for my future. Now that my record is clear I am able to return to my graduate program and resume my teaching credential work. I have my future, my dreams, and my life back on account of the courage I had to pick up the phone and call Higbee and Associates. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU!

In today's polarized climate, including law enforcement linked database systems and hundreds of background check agencies connected to public and law enforcement records etc., it has become clear to me that a one time domestic dispute case over 23 years ago can have the same impact as though it had happened several years ago, and it never gets erased over time, especially with updates of legacy systems to newer technology!

Also, this clarity does not come to fruition until you're passed over for promotion, or you don't get the job that you're highly qualified for otherwise! Thus, Mathew Higbee & Staff provided me with a peace of mind and some restored hope that finally, I can put this mistake I had made at a younger age in my life behind me. Their outreach, advocacy and highly professional decorum was extremely effective, also, ensuring that all communication levels were always at the forefront through the entire process. I am very grateful, and highly satisfied with the outcome! Thank you.

I cannot say enough good things about Record Gone. These people are truly amazing and give you the opportunity to have a real second chance. If you have made a mistake and need it cleared up - no matter what the reason - job, travel, piece of mind - do not be like me and wait 10 years to contact them. Call today. The entire process was smooth - I always was kept informed about what was going on. They answered my every question I had no matter how trivial. These people and this firm do exactly what they say they will do. Read the website - everything on here is true and accurate. I never thought I would be able to put this mistake behind me - it may take awhile for the courts to respond but this team keeps on them and they fight for you everyday. It may seem like forever but it is worth it for the results they can produce. My wife and I both had tears when we got the news the our attorney told us he was successful. Thank you again we can never repay what you have done to give us a clean slate. God Bless.

Jason was very helpful in resolving the issues I called about. The only issue is that I asked if I needed to do anything for my case. I was told no, but after searching my email I discovered I needed to complete a finger print record. I was behind on my payment and nothing had been done on my case for a while so I stopped checking my account. It's my responsibility to know what I have to do, and I will continue to check on my requirements at least a few times a week. I don't blame Jason for my lack of information, but I do feel its important to ensure he and other representatives are provided information to give to clients if they ask. Again, this was not his fault, it is mine for not staying up to date. I will take care of my fingerprints by tomorrow. I desperately need my case completed by October because I will be kicked out of my doctoral program when I apply for practicum if my case isn't expunged. The Fingerprints are needed for my Arizona case, and although I really need this completed by then, the most important one is the Indiana one. I'm a little confused why there has been no progress on it - I even sent all court records from my attorney that I utilized in that case.

Having a past felony conviction was making finding a job very difficult. After doing research and talking to other lawyers I contacted RecordGone. After my fast and easy qualifying test, I simply filled out the online form to get my case started. I did have to do a little leg work like getting finger printed and mailing paperwork to them but I would have had to do that with whoever I had went with. RecordGone handled everything to filing all the paperwork with everyone from the court to the Attorney Generals office to having the attorney at my side in court. I could not have made a better choice, in fact I had a friend go through the process but used a different law firm and after spending over $3000.00 dollars his set aside case was denied. He got a new attorney spent another $2400.00 dollars and finally got his granted. With RecordGone the cost was half of what other lawyers were wanting to charge me. The process doesn't happen overnight no matter who you choose to use but with RecordGone I was able to see my case and every step through their web site that they set up for me. Thanks to RecordGone I can now legally say that I have never been convicted of a felony. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone that's wants to get their record cleared. Since my case was granted I have been able to hold my head up and not feel ashamed any longer when asked on job applications or interviews. Thank you RecordGone

I learned about Record Gone 12 years ago (2007). What attracted me was the price and the guarantee to expunge or your money back. I checked with other attorneys before deciding on Record Gone and realized that other attorneys were charging retainers from $1000 to $5000 with no guarantee. What !...was my exact response and realized I could loose my money with an attorney outside of Record Gone saying, "sorry, we tried, but the expungement was denied." How do I know they really tried or fought for my expungement, I am not there and I loose thousands. Not with Record Gone, it was a no brainer to go with Record Gone with a guarantee that if they can not get my case expunged then I will get my money back less the court costs. I had a total of seven cases from when I was younger...30 years ago. Two felonies and Five misdemeanors that I let Record Gone proceed with the expungement. Once again, I had nothing to loose with Record Gone, but much to gain to get the past off my back. I qualified for all my expungements according to California Penal Code. The process working with Record Gone was easy. They guided me, answered all my questions...trust me many questions through the document process prior to submitting to the courts. All my cases were expunged, but had trouble with one misdemeanor for an auto incident where the court denied my request for expungement. I was not worried, because of the Record Gone guarantee, I knew they would go back to court for me and they did writing another legal brief and getting this misdemeanor expunged. That was hard to understand how Record Gone was able to get my felonies expunged first time with no issues, but the courts denied the misdemeanor...go figure. I can only say that this misdemeanor judge for some reason was having a bad day the first time. I was stressing over the felonies and did not have to at all...it was easy. Did I tell that other attorneys outside Record Gone that wanted $$$thousands in retainer money stated that my two felonies could not be expunged...they were wrong.

I never had to show up to court. Now (June 2019), I am using Record Gone again for one of my felony cases (marijuana) that could not be reduced to misdemeanor 10-12 years ago, because of the laws. A law changed where that felony I had expunged can now be completely reduced to a misdemeanor and completely off my record as if it never happened. Jason, not called Paralegals anymore, now called Legal Secretaries informed me of this. Jason researched and called me back three times within 20 minutes with this great news. I do not have to do this, but I want to as part of my past that I want gone completely. I am degreed now, work with professionals, executives, etc. and to have this past off my back completes me and my life of the mistakes I made way back.

I am sure many want to do the same for the same reason or need this for employment. Trust me I did hours and days of researching attorneys including Record Gone and doubted Record Gone. If you want experience then retain Record Gone that will provide you professional quality customer service with a guarantee...no other attorney or attorney service does this.

I hope this helps you and assures you about Record Gone.

Thank You,

This is an internet conveyor belt, not like hiring an attorney who wants to speak to you to learn about you in order to speak to your character when the judge asks. As a matter of fact, I was never allowed to speak to the attorney that appeared in court on my behalf and was literally told that if I wanted to know what exactly was said in court, I could request the transcript from the court. Why? Because my attorney and team did not appear. They sub-contracted the actual appearance to another attorney who knew nothing about me and when the judge mentioned some concerns regarding one of the counts, she had no rebuttal as we never spoke.

Hire an attorney who will represent you as an attorney should. This is an important enough task that the extra few dollars are worth it.

I previously hired this company to expunge my record after realizing I was unable to purchase a firearm due to my record. I was able to get my record expunged but I still cannot purchase a firearm. I rehired the law firm to restore my firearm rights. I was told to get my fingerprints done again. My Nov. 2020 FB1 background matches my DEC. 12, 2021, Fingerprints as well. I was then told the FBI will always keep my record so How will I get my rights restored? why did you guys take my money? Why did maya pollard tell me the FBI report shows no conviction? The report I got from 2020 and the report from 2021 from the FBI are identical so where is she seeing this non-conviction? I was told to go apply for a gun and if I get denied I can reach out to her. It doesn't even look as though anyone worked on this and just took my money which I paid in full. I am afraid to apply for a gun because, it is a possibility that I may be denied AGAIN! I do not want the FBI coming to me trying to figure out why I keep applying for a gun after being denied. I'd like security going in to apply knowing that I will not be denied. I would also Papertrail showing that my case was worked on.

I hired Record Gone To clear my from Police Record from on -line Searches. Many times I have found many people think your a bad guy because you were arrested and no one wants to be your friend. I don"t know what The City of Pinellas County is even talking about. The whole record is falsafied . They changed date, events, times and photos. I hired record gone to fix the problem. I paid them $120.00 they said they cleared it. I searched my name from several sites but it still remains. I filed a federal dispute on my credit card and Metropolitan bank that issues the Nexis card still haven"t done nothing. My bank continues to charge me inquire fees just to see if my money has been returned. This company is nothing but a Big Ripoff.

This business is a scam. Before i was hiring this place to do expungement for my prevoius conviction. I was told that if they cannot get my record expenge they will issue full refund minus filing fees. It took them 7 months and finally I was suspicious because I read some bad review about this law firm. I ask for refund and they told me they can only give me 50% refund minus filing fees. This place is a crook. I want my full money back

I would like to save any one from the experience I went through. This is a terrible service.

1. I was never contacted by email or otherwise once they got my money. All correspondence was initiated by me. I had to log onto their website frequently to know the status of my case as there were no email notifications. I gave them my information twice and even provided a back up email. Was never contacted by anyone, even after my case was determined.

2. Their money back guarantee is a hoax! DO NO BELIEVE THE GUARANTEE! I was told after when I tried to follow up regarding getting my money back, that even though I paid 1400+ for record expungment services, I was actually paying for probation termination and that is not covered by their guarantee. Even though their contract says nothing of the sort.They word smith-ed their contract to purposely mislead people to think they are safe.

I followed all of their instructions to a "T" and was ensured this would work and when it didn't they stuck me with the bill anyway. Terrible customer service. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. DO NOT LET ANY ONE YOU KNOW USE THEM UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE KEPT IN THE DARK AND GET NO REFUND IF THEY FAIL.

Last year I paid this company 595.00 to expunge a misdemeanor. When I hired them I told them the facts of the case. and the date of
the charge.
They assured me they could get my record expunged in 6 months. However, It is over one year later and my record is still
Record NOT Gone because of the origional date of the ticket. They should have known this when I first contacted them.
They just wanted my money.
6 months later, they told me I had to wait till March this year. I did.
I recently contacted them and they told me that their fees have gone up to 695.00 and now it takes 9 months to expunge.
So now they want an extra 100.00 bucks to take longer, to do the job they should have done right the first time.
I do not reccommed these people. Do it yourself. Google expungements and you will find the answers and
save money.

I’ve been meaning to review this company for a while now, and I can openly say, “YES, THEY ARE PERFECTLY SAFE AND RELIABLE!” How do I know this? Well, lets say I know someone that used their services, and they were really happy with them. All jokes aside, they are really good company, and they offer professional help for less money. If you use them, your case will be handled by an experienced lawyer (not some paralegal), and it will cost you virtually nothing compared to the traditional lawyer fees (believe me I spent days trying to find better deal). Occasionally you will come across some negative reviews about this company, but bear in mind that these reviews are usually written by their competitors who want piece of their business, since Recordgone.com is the nation's leading criminal record clearing law firm.
So if you ask me, just go with them. You will see, they wont disappoint!

RECORDGONE.COM

First, I would like to extend my immense gratitude to RecordGone.com (Mathew Higbee's office) for the great work done on my case, which led to the Court siding with me despite objections by the district attorney. Justice has been served, after being arrested for a crime I never committed. Now, I can leave this behind me and move on with my life with peace of mind.

Thank you Recordgone.com!

I cannot believe that people are complaining about this website. They were exteemly helpful and got my record removed faster than other attorney's charging waaay more said was possible. The only explaination I can think of why other's are complainging is because they were either not eligible for the service or they are actually a competing company who wants them to lose business by posting false reports.

I got my felony record expunged in Texas for under $1000 by recordgone.com in only 2 months.

I am very satisfied with RecordGone.com. I used RecordGone.com to expunge my criminal record. The attorneys were very professional and the case manager was excellent. RecordGone.com charged me only $495 and they had my record expunged in less time than they originally quoted.

I could not believe how quick and painless it was. Incidentally, I contacted 3 other lawyers before hiring RecordGone.com, all three quoted me about $750 more and did not have the solid reputation that RecordGone has.

I highly recommend RecordGone.com. They do not disappoint.

Recordgone.com did a GREAT JOB! From start to finish. Seeing their A rating from the Better Business Bureau and verifying their licenses gave me confidence to sign-up. Once I did, Recordgone.com's professionalism and online client managment page was amazing. My attorney and case manager kept me informed the entire process. I am a very happy Recordgone.com customer.

Thank you RecordGone.com. I have no complaints.
