Expungement of Criminal Record

I was convicted of retail theft in 1992. I was fingerprinted and have a criminal record. I think it was a misdemeanor. It has been over 15 years since this has happened and would like to have my record expunged. Can this be done without me having to have a lawyer? Can this be done at a courthouse? Can this be done without my name appearing in papers or other publications? Someone told me to try for a pardon from our govenor, but that seemed like alot of work and publicity. I want to avoid that and do this as quietly as possible. I feel I have paid my debt several times over and that people released from prison have a better chance and record than I do. I am 50 years old and may need to find a new job, and while it is said that this wouldn't matter if listed on a job application we all know it does. I made a mistake and shouldn't be penalized for it the rest of my life. Also the store in which this happened is no longer around. It went bankrupt years ago.

Re: Expungement of Criminal Record

If you were convicted, meanign either found guilty or plead guilty, you are not eligible for expungement. However, you are eligible for a pardon. You can do this on you own, but it isn't the easiest thing in the world to do. Feel free to contact me if you have additonal questions [email protected] 215.825.5183. Good Luck. Brian.
