Re: expungement
If you were actually "convicted" of that crime, you would nto be eligible for either an expungement or a sealing of your arrest record. However, if you did receive a "withhold of adjudication," and if you have no prior arrest record, you may be eligible to have your arrest record sealed. I would have to know more about the official charge that you pled to because I'm not sure what "abuse without great harm" is and I was formerly a prosecutor for six years. Child abuse? Animal abuse? Elderly Abuse?
If you are interested in getting more information on sealing and/or expunging your arrest record, please visit my website at: www.slavinlawfirm.com

You can also call my law office, at any time, if you have any questions about this.
