Frequently Asked Questions
How do I look up court cases in Lake County?
Lake County court cases are filed with the Clerk of Courts. Search the Lake County Common Pleas Court - IIS Windows Server portal: https://phoenix.lakecountyohio.gov/pa/. For federal matters, see PACER.
What's the difference between sealing and expunging a record in Ohio?
In Ohio, a sealed record is hidden from public view but still exists and remains visible to law enforcement, licensing boards, and some employers. An expunged record is treated by Ohio law as if it never happened — though FBI and federal records may persist regardless of state action. The relief process runs through the sentencing court.
How long does an arrest stay on my record in Ohio if I wasn't convicted?
In Ohio, an arrest stays on your record indefinitely unless you petition the court to seal or expunge it, even if charges were dropped or you were found not guilty. Ohio's rules for clearing non-conviction records are stricter than for convictions — start with the Ohio BCI.
Will a criminal conviction lead to deportation?
It depends on the offense, the person's immigration status, and current federal enforcement priorities. Aggravated felonies and crimes of moral turpitude carry the highest immigration risk. Even a sealed or expunged state conviction may still count under federal immigration law. Consult an immigration attorney.
