you could pay a lawyer to have it exponged. you have to be crime free for one year before the courts would do it.

Depending on the type of conviction this could be with you the rest of your life.  Some states have a "defered judgement" which means that if you meet all their requirements and after a limited amount of time you can have it expundged.  Some states also allow you to petition the courts to have an old offense "sealed" so that it would no longer be public record.  Call the local public defenders office or legal aid office and ask about your particular situation and laws.     Good Luck!!!

There's no point in it being lowered to a misdemeanor by the judge if it is still on the record as a felony.  No, in terms of job applications and the like, once it is reduced to a misdemeanor, you can treat that as if it had been a misdemeanor all along.  (I may be on shaky ground here in states other than California, and I must tell you I am only a legal secretary, not a lawyer.)  \n\nAs to having the thing expunged altogether, you will need to ask specifically what that means, because my common sense view is that it may be a record remains with the term "expunged" after it, rather than literally being erased as if it had never happened.  The same may be true of reduction from felony to misdemeanor in the records of the jurisdiction, but you would be justified in believing you had the right to say you do not have a felony conviction on your record.\n\nIt is a difficult point to predict accurately, because different circumstances could make a difference.  I say, treat it as if it were always a misdemeanor, and fight for your right if someone challenges you on it.  That is, say "I did not lie.  I believed I was correct in this.  I believe that in fairness it should be as I say."\n\nGood luck!  I like the part about keeping your nose clean, and there ought to be some rewards for doing so.

Yes, as far as I know, the President of the United States is the only person who can erase a criminal conviction from your federal record.  But the Presidential Pardon is very hard to secure.\n\nState Governors may (not certain) also have that ability, for a state crime.  But only those who hold a top job in the Executive Branch can do this.

How are they going to find out about it? \n\nCan you go to court and get your record expunged

Say not guilty and explain the situation.  If that does not work, work on a plea deal that will get it expunge after 6 month or a year of not getting into trouble.  Yes get a lawyer

Laws are different from state to state but expunging your record is a good idea.  But in many (most?) states just expunding it doesn't necessarily take the charge/arrest of your record.  It gives you the right to say to employers that you do not have the mis/felony but sometimes it will show up on backgournd checks but it will show that it was expunged.  But it still shows "what" was expunged.  It's complicated so you may want to talk to a lawyer and ask what kind of background checks your employer does.

There are attorneys that specialize in this, check first with the local attorney ref feral services, usually listed in the phone book. \n\nAs to cost it really depends on the conviction and sentence and if you have since conviction shown an improvement in the eyes of the judicial system. This will be of a huge impact, Judges will examine your life and record since the last conviction, it takes normally five years before they will even look at an expungement.\n\nIf you were arrested and no conviction to have the charge removed from your record will cost around 3 to 4 thousand per charge. This is not a cheap process and it is one that is fairly simple to achieve. The only problem is that it is something only an attorney can do for you.\n\nHope this helps

It would be called having them Exsponged, and maybe I am misspelling not sure, and they are only removed as part of a plea deal. You will occassionaly read of how someone will get a plea deal where if they commit NO crimes for like 5 years the thing would be exsponged.  As the first person said that is up to the DA as well though. I don't think there is any limit though. Although if you seem to have a history of committing crimes right after a prior is exsponged they aren't likely to make the deal very often. As to people under 18 I haven't heard of misdemeanors being removed from their record. It is summary offenses that are usually "sealed" or sometimes exsponged from the record. Maybe 3rd degree misdemeanors or so will be as well but the more serious the crime the less likely it will be removed.

no\n\nJuvenile records are sealed and can only be opened by the government or with a court order.\n\nI think some states expunge and others don't but I do know you can hire an attorney to have any criminal record 'considered' for expunging.

No.... even if you get it expunged.. you would have to report it on your application.  And if you lie and put no, they will eventually find out and you will get bounced and maybe charged criminally.

YOU CANT EXPUNGE CONVICTIONS.  Anyone who told you otherwise is mistaken.  Also you cannot get any bonded employment with a theft conviction. your employer will tell you that you falsified your job application when you didn't put this down.  grounds for dismissal and no unemployment.

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

No you can't. You might be able to get the Army to do it, if they will acquit you of the charges, or lower them to a misdemeanor. 15 years of U.S. Navy service, is my source.

As others have stated here, you can get your record expunged.  However, there are a few facts you should know.  Expungement does not delete anything from your record.  What it does is update your record to relect that you retroactivly changed your plea to not guilty and judge is setting aside the conviction.  It does not delete the conviction.  Although you should contact an attorney to confirm everything I am saying, what I am saying in most cases will be correct.  What expungement does for you is allow you to fill out the secion on a job application that says have you ever been convicted of anything as a no.  It also gives you a legal basis to sue if you are denied a job, unless the job is for some government agency or a few other cases, based upon an expunged conviction.\n\nThe laws for expungement are different from state to state and county to county.  Check with the self help legal deparment.  Most counties have them.\n\nAlso in most cases you have to have paid your fine and done your probation, if any before you can be granted an expungement.  Also you usually have to wait 1 year after you have resolved all court ordered punishment.

I AGREE WITH YOU 100%\nTALK TO YOUR BROTHER ABOUT GETTING HIS RECORD SEALED (I BELIEVE IT CAN BE DONE AFTER 5 YRS.) AS LONG AS LAW ENFORCEMENT DOESN'T OPEN IT AGAIN ITS A DEAD ISSUE
