In Wisconsin, can you get a expungement if the crime was done at the age of 23? How?

It appears that in Wisconsin, expungements are limited to certain offenses for offenders under the age of 17 or 21, depending on the conviction.  If you carried out a sentence, and it was not dismissed, then it does not look like you can remove that from your record.  I've included a link to a brochure that summarizes Wisconsin law and gives contact information for their Department of Justice.  Contact them to verify that there are no alternative measures you can take.

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

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.

If your friend was convicted--then she cannot have the conviction expunged. Expungements apply only if the charge is dismissed or if a finding of not guilty was entered. \n\nRegarding expungments, it usually takes some time for anyone to get a violation of some sort expunged from their record in most jurisdictions--usually due to the bureaucratic details. Paperwork has to be filled out, then it has to be reviewed to see if there have been any previous expungments, or any other convictions in state or in the United States. Those are the basics but you can check the site listed below for details on the expungement process as it relates to North Carolina (even though this is Wake County, but it is likely that Guilford County has just about the same process as the expungement process is something usually handled by the state moreso than local officials). \n\nYour friend needs to be patient because it will have to take awhile--maybe awhile longer--if she really didn't get convicted and her charge was dismissed or a finding of not-guilty was entered. I would suggest that your friend continually follow up with her lawyer regarding the issue because bureaucracy has a way of dragging on these sorts of things and it is possible that her lawyer can at least check on how things are going.

Find out your jurisdiction's policy on expungement or other methods to clean or seal criminal matters. In CA, you can  petition to get convictions expunged as long as you are no longer on probation/parole or it has been one year since conviction date w/o being sentenced to probation/parole. You must also have no cases pending (obviously).

Hello:\n\nFirst, you'll have to find out if your state offers expungment, and then you'll have to find out if you fit the criteria.  If you do, you'll have to file a motion, most likely in the county where the conviction occurred.  You'll increase your chances of success tenfold if you hire a lawyer.\n\nAn expunged record will still show up for the cops and the courts, but it theoretically is hidden from the public.  \n\nA pardon, on the other hand, does erase it entirely.\n\nexcon

From Expert Law Forums: Lawyernerd wrote: Something else to consider, too. 1410 probation can eventually be expunged--IF you sucessfully complete it and IF you have no other convictions on your record. And the wait is 5 years from the date you sucessfully complete your 1410 probation. So, if you got 2 yrs. of 1410 probation in 2005, and complete it on time, it will be 2012 before you will qualify for an expungement.\n\nSo, if you already have a conviction on your record for something ese (minor traffic violations don't count but nearly everything else does), your 1410 probation cannot be expunged.\n\nIf you plead guilty to simple possession (not dealing, just possession) and it is a Class 4, you might be able to have it sealed 4 years after you finish your probation.\n\nFor more informaion in Illinos expungement and sealing, go to:\nhttp://state.il.us/defender/exp.html

It depends, if you were a juvenile, and you pleaded guilty, went to court apologized, its called a juvenile record. Something like stealing...it depends on what she stole...if it was a lot of mooney, then don't count on it being taken off. But if it was a petty thing, and she didn't run from the cops, or lie about it, it'll come off within a year / 18 years old.

Well at 15, I guess that It depends on if you where tried in juvinile court or adult court.\nI think that the most states seal the records of anyone that is convicted before the age of 16... \n\nWhy not call the Cal Bar, and see what they say?\n\nI hope this helps!

Contact an attorney to petition the court to have the charge expunged. But beware, in some states that charge will still show up on a background check as 'expunged'. If you were a minor it will be easier to get the charge expunged.

Dear Friend,\n\nTake a look at:\nhttp://www.legis.state.la.us/lss/lss.asp?doc=99762\n\nWhich is Lousiana's expungement statute.  It seems to matter a great deal whether you're trying to expunge an arrest or a conviction, and whether it relates to a misdemeanor charge or a felony charge.  Good luck!\n\nYour Friend,\nFrancesois

It depends on the crime and the state (jurisdiction).  The purpose of expungement is to give those who have made a one-time mistake a chance to have an unblemished criminal history. In CA, you file a 1203.4 Petition to have your guilty plea/conviction dismissed. It will be granted under certain conditions (you have completed probation, you have no new charges, not on probation for a new crime, etc.)  It's generally routine and easy if you meet the criterias.  However, it does not wipe your criminal history. It will still show an arrest but that it was 'dismissed.'

They will issue a bench warrant for you not appearing in court.  If you lived in WI at the time of the incident, or if they have your WI address for any reason, they will contact the local court in WI and try to get the bench warrant served on you.\n\nIf they can't find you, you will be safe for a while, but there is always the chance you will get stopped one day and that bench warrant will be in the national database and then you will go to jail.\n\nI wouldn't press my luck if I were you.

yes, they can. if they are in a different state the court may make you go to them. second ,,, evidence will be harder now for a person to prove. this is going to be a tough case and can go either way. if they seeked councel it may help their side (previously in the 12 yrs) also how old they are now may take a factor. if you are the victim don't worry the truth always comes out... there may be others just waiting for someone to stand up aswell. if you are the suspect... evidence lacking after 12 years is on your side

I don't even have an inkling as to how he can get the record expunged or how you could help with that. \n\nIf the details of the situation are really what you described, then I would support him. He was lied to, did something stupid and he's suffered the consequences. If she was a willing participant and admitted to having lied about her age to him, I'm not even sure how they managed to hold up the charges. If he's remorseful and has paid his dues, then let the past be the past. \n\nI certainly remember lying about my age when I was 14-15 to get into clubs, buy drinks etc. I wasn't sexually active at the time, but I definitely remember flirting and telling people I was older.\n\nEdited to add: When I was 14 I managed to fool government employees into selling me alcohol without any proof of ID whatsoever. Some kids at 14 really do look 18.

depending upon the charges some police records are expunged at the age of 16 so you may or may not be able to pursue a career in one of these fields depending on exactly what the felony charges were.

It depends on what the offense was,how old you were when you committed it,and if you have a past criminal history.If under the age of 18 and the offense wasn't a violent one,don't worry.If over the age of 18 and the offense that you committed was either your first and it wasn't too violent,you can ask the judge that it be espunged(the D.A. would have to agree with this arrangement too),if over the age of 18 or under the age of 18 and/if you have a criminal history...your f--ked.
