Charged or convicted? Merely being charged does not give you the criminal record, although it can be accessed by the Courts as well as other Police Departments.

Depending on what occurred, you may be able to Motion for an Expungement.

Records are forever, and they are maintained in the federal DOJ and state databases everywhere. Consider hriing counsel to defend this and/or negotiate a reasonable plea bargain. Feel free to contact me if serious about doing so.

However, it you are convicted or plead to a crime, then you should know that many convictions can sometimes be 'expunged' by proper application and Motion to the court, but only if there was no prison time served or even sentenced, if it was not for certain sex and Domestic Violence crimes crimes, if you completed and finished all terms of probation, and if you have no new charges pending. If successful, the conviction would be retroactively withdrawn and the charges dismissed. That does not 'remove' the conviction, but merely changes the record to show 'conviction reversed and dismissed by expungement'. If expunged, you would be able to say 'no' to conviction on most private employment applications. However, the conviction is still a 'prior' for purposes of repeat offense, and must be disclosed on any application for government and professional licensing, bonding, security clearance, etc. If you�re serious about doing so, and you think you qualify, feel free to contact me for the legal help you'll need.
