I am currently doing this. I found a lawyer who helped me get a sealing order from a judge. Then I got a copy of my rap sheet and with it, i got a form to contest the accuracy of it. I have submitted the form and now i am just waiting for the dept. of justice to take the arrest off my record. Not all crimes are sealable, however. Most can only be expunged. That means the rap sheet will still show the arrest and disposition will state "dismissed in the furtherence of justice". Hope that helps a little. The main thing is really to find a lawyer. It only cost me about $700 and I never had to do anything except sign some papers. I didn't even have to go to court.

Consult an attorney as it depend on state / federal law and the convictions.  There are different approaches, including sealing the record and/or expungement / vacation.  An attorney will explain how the local/relevant law on these approaches apply to your specific convictions.  Your local bar association will be able to refer you to a qualified attorney.

Expunged: Go to a Lawyer and ask him if you qualify. Some offences you can not have it done.

your record gets cleaned when you turn 18, it might be  pain to get details but if you talk to the right person you might be able to dig something up because they keep records of all court cases. Good luck!!

If you think they may still be in Jail call a bailbonds place. They get public records very quickly. Tell them you want to bail out whomever your talking about but you dont know where they are. Dont tell them you dont know if they did get arrested because then they wont waist their time looking.

Your best bet is to contact the facility where he is incarcerated, ask to speak to the Jail Booking Clerk.

Ask one. Call your local police station and say you're doing a report on crime investigation and would like to interview an investigator.

Are you sure he was charged with state, or was it federal?  If he pled out, or snitched out someone else, his records might be sealed and only available through NCIC access.   Most of the internet sites will charge you to look.   You can go to the local courthouse yourself, if the crime wasn't too old, and do some research on your own.

Report it to the District or Province Prosecutors Office or Department.  Usually they are the overseers of local police & constabularies.

Break into the records building...\n\nActually there are ways to do background checks on people, businesses hiring do this all the time.  A little searching will probably turn up something, but don't expect it to be free.

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
