Re: felony

If the judge did not adjudicate him guilty, yes. What was the crime he was convicted of?

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Without further information, it sounds doubtful that this matter can be eliminated from your son's record.

The only matters which can be "erased" or expunged are those in which the court did not adjudicate the defendant guilty. This can only be done once in a person's lifetime.

I suggest that you consult a local attorney to review the facts of the case and determine the outcome to advise you with specificity whether or not there is any possibility of expunging your son's criminal record.

convictions cannot be sealed only withholds of adjudication.
