Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland

Criminal Record expungement

I was watching a Judge Mathis episode and he spoke out to individuals who had criminal records. The Judge stated that if your criminal offense occured before you were 25 years old you could have your record expunged/sealed. I fall into this category and would like some more information. Can you help?

can prove that you were wrongfully convicted and have received a pardon from the governor.)
