Has anyone had a conviction expunged?

Yes, it cost me 1700 dollars, and the reason doesn't matter; because they never asked for any reason except where's my 1700 dollars. It was worth every penny too.

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.....

Dear Friend,\n\nSurpisingly, he may be able to get these sealed or expunged. I imagine it'd be best to go to a criminal defense lawyer to help.\n\nSee http://www.lac.org\n\nCan criminal conviction records be sealed (including expunged, erased, or purged)? \nYes, most misdemeanor and felony convictions can be expunged provided the individual has a limited criminal history, has no cases pending, and the following time periods have elapsed following completion of sentence: 15 years for multiple class B and C misdemeanors, 10 years for an alcohol- or drug-related traffic offense, 7 years for a felony and 3-5 years for a misdemeanor. Utah Code Ann. § 77-18-12. The following convictions may not be expunged: capital felony, first degree felony, second degree forcible felony, any sexual act against a minor, any registerable sex offenses, and attempt, solicitation, or conspiracy to commit these offenses. Utah Code Ann. § 77-18-12(1). \n\nUnless adjudicated for murder or aggravated murder, juvenile records may be sealed upon age 18 and one year has elapsed since termination of juvenile court jurisdiction or after one year has elapsed from unconditional release if committed to the Division of Youth Corrections. During the one year waiting period the individual must not have been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor of moral turpitude and have no pending criminal proceedings. Utah Code Ann. § 78-3a-905(1), (2), and (5). \n\nYour Friend,\nFrancesois

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

Get an attorney and see about getting your record expunged.  The judge might take into consideration the fact that you ahve been a law abiding citizen for all of those years.\n\nGood luck and congradulations.  Most ex-cons can't keep things on the straight and narrow.  I am proud of you and you ain't even my kid....lol.

Most law firms will say they don't do it, because it most cases it can't be done.  You need special circumstances to expunge a criminal record -- such as a pardon.  Your best bet is to forget about it as impossible, and work on building a resume slowly, and impressing those you work for now.  Sorry.

Here is a link to a site that specializes in the expunging of records. They have information available on their site that people on Yahoo Answers cannot provide. All I can do is offer you the link to someone that can provide solid, accurate answers for you:\nhttp://removeit.org/\nBest of luck to you in your endeavors.

I would get in touch with the Probation/Parole Department of the county that you were convicted in. Even if they cant do it, they can give you more info.

An expungement is a procedure by which a conviction is removed from a person's record. To have a conviction "set aside" generally means that an appellate court has reversed a conviction. In that case, the person's record is ordered changed to show that he/she was acquited (found innocent) of the crime.

I've known a couple people that have had them expunged.  One guy was in Minnesota, but the laws have since changed, so that any recent DUI's stick with you forever.  The other guy I know had one in Ohio, and it was taken of the record after something like 10 years, give or take.  But I think Ohio has new, stricter laws as well.\n\nBoth of these DUI's were in the late 70's or early 80's.

Only an order from the court can expunge a record.  The problem today is that there is still a paper trail, police records and so forth that will remain anyway.  Sometimes it is simply better to move on and leave the past in the past.

You need to contact the courts to have the record expunged. I think you will need to have a lawyer file it for you, and go from there. The lawyer will file, and once it is expunged, it will not show up on your permanent record.\n\nBTW, there are a couple offenses that can't be expunged from your record. One is any type of sex offense, and the other would be murder.

Every question like this will depend on the state.  In California there are measures that can be taken for some misdemeanors to be expunged but only one that would affect their registration requirements.  (in other words, expungement does not mean it REALLY goes away, the courts and Law Enforcement still get to use it, it is just no longer a PUBLIC issue for employment etc.).\nMost other states have similar procedures, and some do not allow ANY expungement.\nAll depends upon the state, the crime and often times the punishment imposed.\n\n** And there are some in CA who can keep their names off the internet under certain circumstances.**
