About Expeal

Expeal is a legal technology service provider. We build software that shows you how to clear your criminal record under your own state's law — and, where we offer our full product, prepares the court forms that path requires.

Who we are

Expeal is a small team based in Naples, Florida. Our founders started Expeal in 2015 because clearing a record was never meant to need a lawyer. You should be able to do it yourself.

What we do

Expeal publishes state-by-state information about record clearing: the remedies each state's law allows, the statutes behind them, and what filing takes. In Florida, our DIY+ product adds a guided eligibility check and prepares expungement and sealing petitions from your answers through the Expeal application.

What we don't do

Expeal is not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice, we do not represent anyone in court, and using this site does not create an attorney-client relationship. Our full disclosures — including how Expeal relates to the legal profession in each state — live on the disclosures page.

How we review our content

Expeal is not a law firm, and nothing on this site is legal advice. To approve a page, we check every statement about a state's law against the statute or agency source the page cites. We check that the wording is plain. We remove anything that reads as advice about your case.

A page we have approved says "Reviewed by Expeal" at the bottom, with the date of that review. Every other page is still in our review. Those pages may show a "Last updated" date instead.

We review wording that appears on many pages — headings, labels, the footer — with the site as a whole rather than page by page. If you find an error, tell us through the contact page.
