What is the main reason that a request to seal is denied?
If your request to seal is denied by the judge, then there may be several reasons: (1) The court file is not accurate – perhaps the clerk made a mistake, (2) the application for expungement is wrong – wrong charge, not signed, (3) the judge believes it is not in the best interest of society to grant the sealing of the record, (4) there are convictions as an adult and (5) the fines have not been paid.
