Alford please result in guilty findings, even though technically the defendant doesn't say that he or she is guilty. As a result, guilty findings cannot be expunged. Information about expungement is available at mdcourts.gov.

An experienced criminal defense attorney can help you evaluate the prosecution's case, any defenses that you might have, and any plea offer that might be made, so that you can decide whether to go to trial. Consider seeking a confidential consultation.
