Re: expungement
If you were in District Court, you should be able to go back there and ask the clerk for a form you can fill out requesting that your record be expunged. You should be able to do this yourself.
If you were in Circuit Court I don't think the court clerk has a form, and you might need an attorney to help you. You don't say how long ago you got the pbj and whether you have had convictions for anything else. This may affect whether you can get an expungement. Whether or not the pbj will affect your employment depends on your employer. It does show up on your record as a pbj, and some employers who check your criminal record may not want to hire you even though it was technically not a conviction.
