Re: expunge a record

I think your terminology is a little off. You cannot have a crime "pardoned" in general sessions. Only the Governor can pardon a crime. But anyway, if you want to have a crime expunged, there is a process, but its rather involved. The easiest way to do it is simply call a lawyer. It requires certain filing, judges' signiture, many letters, etc. Your welcome to call if you need help. Robert Johnston. (843) 828-1137 or toll free 1-888-789-8100
