Often misdemeanor convictions that occurred before a defendant reached 18 years of age can be expunged. Generally speaking convictions based on actions committed after a defendant was 18 years old can not be expunged (exception for possession of alcohol), however other options may be available such as a motion for appropriate relief. 

    Whenever a defendant has been charged with a misdemeanor or felony the fact that he or she has been charged will always appear on a criminal record. When employers run a background check this will appear. Please give us a call to see if we can petition the Court to expunge your record.
