Expungment of charges
I was arrested in Memphis, TN. In 1992 for theft of property under $500.00. I was sentenced to probation 11/29 on this charge. In 1994 I was arrested again in Memphis for the same thing. This time I served 94 days in a county facility. I've not been arrested since, can I have these charges expunged from my record?

It all depends. It's very hard to get a record expunged but not impossible. It consists of filing papers and the process takes about a year (at least that's in pa). The legal advice that was given to me was: 1. not getting into any trouble in at least 8-10 years (which you qualify), 2. your criminal record is hindering you from obtaining employment in a certain field (in particular if you have training, certifications or if that was your occupation), and performing community service or volunteering over the years is definitely a plus. From what I was told, in PA you get a hearing in front of 4-5 judges who ask you questions and then decide your fate. What ever you do... DO NOT GIVE EXCUSES OF WHY YOU DID WHAT YOU DID. JUST ADMIT AND ASSURE THEM THAT YOU WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN AND GIVE AWESOME SUPPORTING FACTS WHY NOT. In PA, there is an application fee of about $25.00 and a questionnaire, which you have to xerox about 7 copies of the 8+ pages, along with 7 copies of your pic.
It's a lot to do, but well worth the try to gain a part of your life back. Hope this helps. |
