Do Mandatory Dismissals require a hearing?

The answer in short is that it depends. With that said, depending on which county the dismissal is attempting to be dismissed from determines the outcome of this question. Thus, in some counties, mandatory expungements are granted without any hearing on your Petition, however other counties require a formal hearing before an expungement is granted. The ultimate goal is to get your petition granted and dismiss your case. If this is the outcome, then you will receive documentation in the mail from the court within a few weeks confirming that your record has been officially changed.

Different rules attach for failure to serve within 3 years or bring a case to trial within 5 years and/or failure to file proof of service of summons!

Depending on the date of filing, how much time has passed from that date, whether extensions were granted and reasons given can provide grounds for relief. Inquire within to find out if you fall into one of these categories and whether we can help you in finding grounds under a mandatory dismissal or some other means that may be available to you.
