You can only have the record expunged if you are granted an absolute pardon based on an unjust conviction. If you plead guilty or nolo contendere, you cannot ever have it expunged, even after a pardon.

Contact the District Attorneys Office for the Supreme Court.\nf the case orriginally was filed where you live, your local DA can find out for you if you were involved in the original conviction.

Contact the court.  If you completed the program and got a good evaluation the DUI is supposed to go away as I understand it.  If you do nothing it should be there for all to see.  You can pay an attorney a small fee and have him make the contact and file a brief requesting dismissal of the "conviction."   You cannot move the matter to GA.  \n   Question:  Why in the world did you not complete and wrap up this important matter?

You need to find a library with microfiche files of old newspapers for that area. If there was a conviction there may also be a record of that in the courthouse where it happened but you would probably have to pay someone to get you that info since it would take some digging through old files by a clerk. \nThat is about it.

Yes you can.\nIf your record is currently clean they may be talked into a fine and a dismissal of misdemeanor charges and a reduction to a civil infraction. But that is no guarantee.\nHope this helps.

Yes, even if your found not guilty or prove the charge false and/or malicious it is still on your record. Some states allow for a misdermenor charge to be expunged but the expungement still shows on the record only the name of offense is deleted.

Well if you didn't do it fight it to the supreme courts if you have too. If you did, just admit it and move on. I am not sure what the sentence is but jail time or a fine maybe. Steer clear of the x. I have one that is a jerk from you know where too....good luck to you.

You can also contact the court that held the trial.  They will have the verdit for the case in question.  I have added a link to the circuit courts in West Virgina for your use.

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.....

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

The only way to stop a garnishment would be to get the judgement overturned.  Since you did not show up in court on the hearing date, the creditor was granted a default judgement.\n\nWhat you would need to do is file a motion to dismiss based on "improper service".  That means the creditor did not follow proper procedures in serving you with the summons and complaint.\n\nRecently it was disclosed that several large collection agencies were fined, and several people sent to jail, because the lied about serving the paperwork.  They simply filed papers with the court saying they were delivered, when in fact the either could not locate the defendant or they simply didn't try.  \n\nIn order to win your motion you would need to show that you were not served the papers.  That means you need to go to the courthouse and see the "process of service" paperwork that is on file, and see how they claim you were served.  \n\nI'm not sure about how Virginia law works, but I believe it has to be served in person, as opposed to certified mail.  The court paperwork should say where and when you were served.  If you can prove they lied, the judge will dismiss the case.\n\nGood luck

You can contact the court, file papers, go before a judge, and request this.  \nDepending on the arrest type, length of time since sentencing, the positive changes you have made in your life, and how the record is affecting your future capabilities, you just might get it removed.

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.

so i take it u were arrested for this?  okay, a $10 item is like theft in the 3rd degree.  it's like petty theft.  nothing warranting a big to do.  if the store is pressing charges, then yeah, u will have to do the whole court thing.  get a lawyer IMMEDIATELY.  Request a court appointed one if u can't afford it.  Plead NOT GUILTY during ur first court appearance (arraignment).  The burden is on the state to prove its case.  Don't hand it over on a silver platter.  Things can happen by the time u r  scheduled to go to trial.  Charges could be dismissed due to lack of evidence, etc.  Ok, if things don't go ur way, and u eventually agree to a plea deal, u will NOT get jail time for a $10 theft.  the justice dept has much bigger fish to fry (like rapists, child molesters, etc.) than to imprison u for your petty theft.  U will just have to pay restitution (in other words, pay the store $10 for its loss) and court fees.  U will be put on probation and likely have to do a few community service hours.  If u r lucky, u will be able to swing a "deferred sentence" whereby u will NOT have this on your record if u "keep your nose clean" from problems for a designated amt of time.

getting expunged if TOUGH. i have one felony from 20 yrs ago that i have tried twice just to get pardoned for and the state is making it imposible almost. and they only let you try again after 18 mo. so it takes years complete.\nexpunged is where YOU prove that you were not guilty. and it gets erased from your record\npardoned is where you get... "excused" from your crime and you get all your rights back. but its still on your record\ndepending on the state and what the rules are. contact the capitol and they will tell you/send info on what you need to do and supply them for proceedings to start in either case.\ngood luck. both are hard roads\none easier than the other.\nbut, you like me.... made stupid decisions before and this is the price you pay.
