Re: criminal record check

Depends on the check they do. It will show up as an arrest, not a conviction. I suggest you expunge the whole thing so nothing shows up.

Re: criminal record check

I agree with the other guru that it depends what the "this" means in a sense. For example, the arrest record for the aggravated assault will remain until a petition for expungement is filed with court. Ordinance violations can be expunged after two years but convictions are supposed to remain ONLY AT THE LOCAL MUNICIPALITY. Consequently, an expungement is always the best route. A blemish on one's record may influence future actions in your life adversely so removing this is best.

I will gladly consult with you as this both geographically and subject matter wise in my area.
