Re: charge but not convitted

Some prior convictions can be expunged after a period of no new convictions. You did not provide enough information to give you any advice as to wether your matter can be expunged. You mentioned that you were not charged. If you were not charged with anything, how did the incident show up on a background check?

Perhaps if you can provide more specific information, an attorney might be able to tell you whether it could be expunged, and whther you could do it without an attorney.

Good Luck,
