Re: sealing or expunging a criminal record
it depends on what you mean by "conviction"
If you recieved a "withhold of adjudication" and that is your only prior conviction, then yes.
if you were "adjudicated guilty" then the charge cannot.
Let me know if I can be of further help.
I could potentially get it done and you wouldn't even have to leave PA.

Not if it was a summary offense. If it was held for court and dismissed you may be able to have the record expunged but Magisterial District Judge's dockets are a matter of public record.
