What is not included

  • An attorney's representation. Expeal is not a law firm. You file the petition yourself, and nothing here creates an attorney-client relationship.
  • Fingerprinting. The agency or vendor that takes your prints sets its own charge.
  • Certified copies, where your county requires them. The clerk prices those.
