The answer to your question depends greatly on the specific facts of your case.

How you would do this depends on the circumstances. If you were unaware of the hearing and did not attend, or there was a reason... View More

How does one find out if the information about them in Law Enforcement Information Network (LEIN) is accurate?

There is no way to publicly review it. LEIN gets its information from courts and other law enforcement agencies. IF there is an inaccurate entry, it must be corrected in the court reporting it.
