Once I get an expungement, are my juvenile records off-limits to everyone?
No. Law enforcement agencies, the Department of Corrections, States Attorneys and other prosecutors can still get to your juvenile records, even if they have been expunged. The military can too. Also, private companies that do background checks may be able to get your juvenile records, even after they have been expunged. Still, expungement is an important step towards making sure you are not shut off from future opportunities.
