Give us what we need to draft your petition and proposed order.

This intake is for people ready to hire McDonald Law Firm LLC. Please complete it as fully as you can so David can draft the filing without a follow-up for missing facts. You will be screened for online sign-up before any agreement or payment. The short record check on the homepage is still available if you only want a first look.

Which state's records are we asking the court to clear?

Missouri petitions are drafted under RSMo 610.140. Kansas petitions are drafted under K.S.A. 21-6614. If you have cases in both states, choose both and we will collect what each filing needs.

Please choose one to continue.

Your information

Use your full legal name as it should appear on the petition in the Full Name blank. Enter only the last four digits of your Social Security number here. The official Missouri petition (CR360) does not ask for a Social Security number. If a confidential filing sheet later requires the full number, we will collect it through a secure method, not on this website.

Please complete the required fields, including Race and Ethnicity (select one or more).

Full Name

CR360 has two boxes: Male and Female.

Driver License No./Issuing State/Exp. Date

Missouri petition caption

CR360 begins: "IN THE ______ JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, ________________________ COUNTY, MISSOURI." The filing county is usually where the conviction was charged or you were found guilty. Judge or Division and the caption Case Number are often filled in by the court.

Each offense or arrest

Add every arrest, plea, trial, or conviction to be expunged. CR360 asks for Case Number, Court Name, Approx. Date of Charge, County / Municipality of Charge, and Description of Charge. The other questions help us draft findings and any Kansas petition. If you are not sure of a date or number, type "Unknown" and upload any papers you have on the last step.

Please complete at least the required fields for each case.

Offense or case 1

Agencies that may have records

Check every agency or office that might hold a record of these cases. Add a name and address when you know it. The petition and proposed order must list these parties.

Missouri defendants

CR360 says: "select or list all of the agencies you believe may have records of each of the convictions you seek to expunge, attach additional sheets as necessary."

These are not printed boxes on CR360. If they may have records, they should be listed under Other on the petition.

The next questions track Missouri expungement limits in RSMo 610.140. Please answer yes, no, or unsure. Unsure answers are reviewed by the attorney before any online sign-up.

The next questions track Kansas expungement limits in K.S.A. 21-6614. Please answer yes, no, or unsure. Unsure answers are reviewed by the attorney before any online sign-up.

Documents and confirmation

Upload any judgments, dockets, sentences, or record checks you have. This is optional, but it helps us draft without writing you back. The starting fee is from $1,995, including all court costs and filing fees. Submitting this form does not hire the firm.

Please confirm the consent box and complete any required fields.

This is not the Petitioner's Signature on CR360. You will sign the petition itself, under penalty of perjury, before it is filed.

Privacy: We use this information to draft your petition and proposed order and to follow up about your matter. We do not sell your information. Form submissions and uploads may be processed by our website host. Enter only the last four digits of your Social Security number on this page.

This is a screening for online sign-up only. It is not a legal conclusion about your case.
