Re: Criminal expunges

Only certain crimes can be expunged and that is not one of them. They do not seal records in these situations. Contact your county Solicitor's Office and they can give you the forms which will tell you which ones can be and which ones cannot. You can apply to the Governor's Office for a pardon, but they are very seldom granted and require compelling reasons to do so. Good luck.
