Can I expunge convictions off my record?

To have something expunged simply is having something erased or removed.

Answered a call this morning asking about expunging a misdemeanor conviction from their record. The first question I asked is this a first offense or conviction? An important expunge question. Found a little information that explains why.

Any person who has been convicted of a misdemeanor, excluding a conviction for a traffic violation, and who is a first offender, may petition the…court…for an order to expunge any such conviction from all public records… The effect of such order shall be to restore such person, in the contemplation of the law, to the status he occupied before such arrest. No person as to whom such order has been entered shall be held thereafter under any provision of law to be guilty of perjury or to have otherwise given a false statement by reason of his failure to recite or acknowledge such arrest or conviction in response to any inquiry made of him for any purpose…

As I have stated numerous times, anyone can catch a case and a first offender with a misdemeanor conviction on their record should think of having it removed. Misdemeanor convictions on your record may affect employment.

Always a blessing to share. Dream your world.
