Re: Felony

Yes. In the criminal justice system, you are an adult when you turned 17. If you were younger than 17, and prosecuted as a juvenile, you might be able to get the record sealed. If you were an adult, you might qualify for an order of non-disclosure. It would still be on your record, but would be closed to everyone except 23 different agencies.
