As long as you received a withhold of adjudication and you have no other criminal record, yes. You can call my office and we can handle it for you. It is relatively inexpensive.

If you have no convictions on your record and the court withheld adjudication on this charge, then you can have your record sealed or expunged. If you have any convictions, it cannot be done.
