Re: espongement

You can visit the clerk's office where you were charged, and get a form for a motion for expungement. You will need the name of the police agency that arrested or charged you, as well as the case number and other general case information. You generally cannot have a felony expunged, but misdemeanors can almost always be expunged after 10 years. The form should explain the different bases for expungement.
