Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland
espongement of criminal record
In July of 2000, I was arrested for felony theft. I entered into a plea bargin before judgement. I served six weekends in a county correctional facility and successfully completed my probation. I have not or intend to be involve in any type of criminal activity since.
Recently, I have had the opportunity to obtain well paying jobs, which I so desparately need at this point in my life, but when it is time to do the backgroud checks this criminal record always disqualify me from employment of a well paying job.
My question is how can I clean or get this charge off my record?

You can file a Petition for Expungement in the court where the case was filed. Forms are available at the courthouse or online at the Maryland courts website.
