Legal Question in Criminal Law in Alabama

Can a criminal record be expunged in the State of Alabama

I was CHARGED with two class a felonies four years ago, but the felonies were dropped to two class c misdemeanors. This is the only charge I have ever had in my life, and as for the last four years, I have not gotten even a parking ticket. The case that was brought against me was very shakey and as a result the felonies were dropped. I although was not off the hook. I plead to the misdemeanors and as a result they have haunted me every time I fill out an application for employment. Can these charges be expunged from my record in the State of Alabama? Thank you very much.

there is not provision in alabama for expungment of records. however, depending on where the offense took place, a judge may take favorable action on your behalf. also there is a possibility of a pardon from the governor that may help you. please call me if you wish to discuss further. 205-879-9595
