What does record sealing cost in Nevada?

Liberators charges a flat fee of $1,800 for record sealing. That covers the entire process: filing fees, the DPS criminal history request, the SCOPE report, postage and copying, and all attorney time from eligibility review through agency compliance. There is no additional charge for multiple records or court appearances. You can start the case for $900 down, with the balance due before we file the petition.

Everything. Filing fees and service of process, the DPS cashier's check for your criminal history report, the SCOPE report from LVMPD, postage to mail the signed order to all required agencies, certified copies, and all attorney time. If the judge sets a hearing, your attorney attends at no extra charge. If you have records in multiple courts or counties, the flat fee still covers the full package.

Yes. You can start for $900 down, with the balance due before we file the petition. The petition isn't filed until the eligibility work is done and the DPS criminal history report comes back, typically four to six weeks into the process, so there's a natural window to arrange the balance.

No. The flat fee covers one case or five. In many multi-record situations we can prepare a consolidated petition: one filing that addresses all eligible cases at once through the Eighth Judicial District Court instead of separate filings in each court. Either way, the fee doesn't change.

Yes. The forms are publicly available, and some people do file pro se (without a lawyer). Out-of-pocket costs for a self-filed petition in Las Vegas Justice Court run roughly $150 (SCOPE, DPS history, fingerprinting, filing, certified copies, postage). The risk is accuracy and sequencing. One error in the petition, such as a wrong agency, a miscalculated waiting period, or a missing case, can get the petition rejected. A denied petition means you cannot re-petition for 2 years.

The out-of-pocket costs to file yourself are about $150. Attorney representation costs $1,800. The difference is accuracy, completeness, and follow-through. We pull your full DPS criminal history to make sure nothing is missed. We map every agency that has to be noticed. We calculate waiting periods correctly. We follow up to confirm agencies actually complied with the order. Because a denial means waiting 2 years to try again, accuracy on the first filing is what the difference pays for.

The flat fee covers it. If the district attorney objects to the petition and the court sets a hearing, your attorney attends and argues the case. That's included in the $1,800. A contested case takes longer (plan for six to twelve months instead of four to six), but it doesn't cost more.

The flat fee covers all standard costs. The only things not included are costs that arise from circumstances outside the normal process. For example, if you have unpaid jail fees or probation fees that need to be cleared before filing (those go to the relevant agency, not to us), or if fingerprints are rejected by DPS for quality reasons and you need to be reprinted (rare, and the reprinting fee goes to the fingerprint provider, not to us).
