Criminal Charge & Conviction Clearing
Criminal Expungement New Client Inquiry Questionnaire
Set aside (expunge) Oregon arrest and criminal court records, including:
- Arrest records
- Misdemeanor Convictions
- Marijuana convictions
- Felony Convictions
- Acquittals
- Dismissals and Diversions
Criminal record expungement helps people with no currently pending cases who are applying for housing, occupational licensing, employment, or volunteering, who have ever had a criminal charge in Oregon. Removing cases from your record prevents a prospective employer, landlord, or volunteer site from being influenced to make a negative decision.
Tip: Many people don’t realize that even if your case was dismissed, no charge was filed, and even if you won the trial and are considered innocent, the citation or charge may show up on a background check and may influence a future employer or landlord!

Tenant Record Clearing
Tenant Expungement New Client Inquiry Questionnaire
Set aside (expunge) Oregon residential eviction records, including:
- Dismissed and settled eviction cases
- Eviction cases the tenant won
- Old eviction records (over 5 years)
- Judgments the tenant has fully paid off
- Eviction cases from Covid pandemic-era years
Many people are unaware that, in Oregon, a tenant's housing record can be expunged in some circumstances, similar to a criminal record expungement.
Housing record expungement helps people applying for housing or a housing-related employment opportunity, who have ever had an eviction case filed against them (even if the case had a happy ending). Removing cases with satisfied judgments prevents a prospective landlord from being influenced to make a negative application decision.
Tip: Many people don’t realize that even if you won the eviction case, or it settled or was dismissed by the court, it will show up and may influence a future landlord!

Advance Directives & Appointments of Healthcare Representative
Advance Directive New Client Inquiry Questionnaire
There are two parts to the Oregon Advance Directive:
- Appointment of a Healthcare Decision-maker
- Expression of Your Treatment Preferences and End-of-Life Medical Wishes
In addition to her role as a licensed attorney, Cora L. Rose is a minister (Lutheran deaconess/Minister of Word & Service) with training and experience needed to walk you through options and decisions you may make in advance in case of catastrophic injury, illness, or end of life.
Tip: Most of us aren't aware that if you are suddenly not able to make or express your wishes, nearly any available adult can step in to make those medical decisions for you.
Contact the Law Office of Cora L. Rose today to find out how we can help you select who will make medical decisions for you if you are not able to, and how to set forth your medical decisions in advance so there is no uncertainty when it matters most.

Meet the team
The Law Office of Cora L. Rose is a solo firm founded with the goal to make Oregon’s set aside process for tenant and criminal histories available to any Oregonian seeking to have their records reflect who they are today. To achieve that goal, the Law Office uses a straightforward, flat-fee payment model, offers discounts for filing multiple cases at once, and additionally provides a reduced fee for those whose household incomes are not over half the area median income.
Expungement can lead to greater opportunities in employment, housing, and community volunteerism. Says Ms. Rose, "My hope is that my law practice will help close the opportunity gap between the number of Oregon court cases eligible for record relief and the number of people who can obtain that relief."
