trying to get a expunge record or seal in Chicago I live in ms the record is 24 years ago I never went to court on it

   It is unclear from your question whether or not you were actually charged with an offense. If your record is due to an arrest where no charges were filed, there are mechanisms to expunge or seal that arrest even though you live out of the State of Illinois. If you were charged and you failed to appear in court, there may be other legal issues, including the possibility of an outstanding old warrant for your arrest.   Please contact an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. Experienced counsel should be able to advise you the best means necessary to proceed.   This posting is meant for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice or establish an attorney-client relationship between the parties.
