Have them expunged. I am a three time felon (non-violent.... they stem from 2 drinking and driving offenses.) I have them all expunged so that they are not part of public record allowing me to get jobs and be a constructive member of society. I would consider talking to a lawyer if I were you!

An accurate answer depends on the state you live in but generally there is a procedure. If it was 20 years ago, and there have been no crimes since then, you will qualify in every state. The procedure is basically to have the record "sealed" if you were a juvenile so it is not open without a court order. If you were an adult the procedure will require you to go back to court and have the old charge dismissed. The fastest place for free advice is probably the Probation Department, which does this routinely for adults who successfully complete probation. Other than that - follow the advice repeated in other answers, get a lawyer.

Criminal records are not usually erased. You have to request for expungement after a long period of time that the criminal act was committed.

Not unless you were a minor. Get a lawyer, and have the expunged.

You can hire an attorney and have them expunged from your record.

no sealed, it is possible to get them explunged, *taken off the public record.
But they will always be available to the police department
