Yes you can hire an attorney and in some cases your record can be expunged. You have to show that it has been detrimental to you... like loss of a job or not being able to get a job.
Btw, they normally only do this for non-felonies and cases where the charges were dismissed but still show because some companies won't hire you just because you were once charged regardless of the outcome.

Each state has their own unique procedures for expunging criminal records - it can be done - but let me tell you - it is very, very expensive and you must have a fantanstic lawyer to defend your case. I know of a professional actor who over 20 yearsl ago had a case and served his time. He attempted to get his record cleared so that he could become a registered voter - and to this day - he has not been able to accomplish this. Yet, this is a man who has made serious contributions to the youth and children, has worked diligently with various organizations to help promote good will, has offered and given up much of his own money and his time to contribute back to the society, has made more than his share of amends - and still - the courts will not work with him to re-instate his voting rights. All I can say is good luck - the system can be very judgmental and odd. But it can be done - there is also a judge on local television who had to have his record expunged in order to obtain his law degree and then to receive his judgeship - they gave him much grief - but he didn't give up.

Depends on the charges. Check with an attorney, they are the only ones to be able to file the correct paper work. Good Luck.

Yes, you can. Usually if you are successful in completing your requirements, such as community service or paying fines, your record may indeed me expunged.

Yes. You have to request a pardon from your state and an order from the Court to have your record cleared. Once that is done, you can send the pardon and the order to the FBI and they will clear it from their data banks as well.

Yes you can. You have to get a lawyer to do it but it can be done. Check with a local defense lawyer they should be able to tell you what you need to do from there.
