you have to get copy of police record and then contact the city district attorney for more advice. I know when i did this for b/f 10 years ago..a letter was sent with record to the governor asking for expungement..but i forget exactly how we went about it...we broke up shortly after, so im unsure. =(  wish i could help more

You should contact your local police department if you believe an individual is connected to crime. I am not aware if civilians can just look up criminal records for individuals.\n\nYou'll probably want to look into companies that can do background checks. Google brings up many pages about background checks. Here is a link to a search.\n\nhttp://www.google.com/search?q=background+checks&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official

The Governor from your State has to grant it for you. I have known of narcs getting that done to clear their records in my State. My City has a prosecutor that is a Republican felon. He was able to get the Governor to pardon him somehow, it was snitching everybody says.

Sure you can represent yourself if you know what to do.  Did you try asking the lawyer who represented you?  Two other possibilities: the Public Defender Service might give you the forms to use at no charge; or go online, and search for "Expungment of Court Records in (your state)" and see what you can find.

Criminal records are not easily accessible, especially depending on the county/state.  I may be able to help.  Please feel free to email me.\nemma____@yahoo.com\nNorthwest Investigation

Go to the county courthouse and ask for the records department.  The bureaucrat on duty may not be of much help, but the records are there for your perusal--for free.

Your criminal convictions are a matter of public record and usually can be obtained at your states bureau of criminal apprehension.  There are also websites which provide an accurate accounting of criminal history. I've provided a link for one I have used in the past. Hope this helps you.

Depending on the the crime involved, there are 3 different courts for you to choose from at the links for forth below.  For state law misdemeanors, use the first link.  For state law felonies, use the second link.  For federal charges, use the third link.\n\nIt doesn't look like the state court has records available online.  Some federal court offer records online for a fee.  Follow the instructions using the links below.

I do not know of any. It will depend on where you are, and what you need it for. You may still need an officical copy from the police for the Lawyer. Why isn't the Lawyer getting it?

Go to the judge that sentenced you and ask for your record to be expunged.

It takes a lot of paperwork and writing to get chaeges expunged usually criminal charges are the ones worth pursuing to clear your record as opposed to misdemeanor charges if you are applying for a job usually the only interest is a crininal background check and you have to write to the governor in order to get a pardon

Actually it is not hard...if you have not committed any more crimes....\nIf you have not went to court yet...you can have your lawyer to ask for the first offenders act..under this act.. after completing your sentence and remaining out of trouble for 5 years...you can have your record sealed...\nIf you have already completed your sentence....get a lawyer and ask for your lawyer to write an appeal to the Pardons and Parole Board of your state asking for a pardon of your crime.....with a pardon given...your rights are reinstated and maybe the charge is sealed on record......This takes a little time and you must stay away from trouble and commit no more crimes.....

Hmmm.... try the police or the office of records for your county.  Good luck

The best thing you can do is get a hold of an attorney who defends criminal cases and get this over with. If you can not afford one then it is best to turn yourself in and if the police want to question you on the matter, say nothing, just tell them you want to speak to a lawyer. An attorney will be appointed for you if you can not afford one.\n\nThere is always the chance you can get out of it, but not without a lawyer and it will go harder on you if the police catch up with you first.

call the police department and they can tell you if they have any of that on record. that is public information especially something like that. just call they will tell you of where to call if they can not help you.

Yes...you MUST hire a lawyer, though.  ANY lawyer.  As long as it is a first offense and the only one you want expunged, the courts will do it!
