Yes, I got into a little trouble years ago, it was just my surroundings, I didn't actually do anything just the company I kept were up to no good. I had to get my record expunged, in 2001. It took a lot of paperwork and my lawyer took care of everything. Total if I recall was around 18k to take care of everything for me.

I had two felonies expunged, difficult process and takes time and money but can be done, it also depends on the type of felony.
It’s easier In CA where you have wobblers. It’s also dumb to have wobblers because the DAs always charge the higher felony knowing the case will likely get plead out to a lesser felony or misdemeanor with the hope of reduction and expungement. Don’t get me started about this lol.

Mine happened in 1990 then expunged in 1997.

Wow. That's expensive but that sounds about what it would cost in Calif for a felony.
The $3k-$5k I quoted was for a misdemeanor charge. Took about 6 months to get accomplished.

I had two conspiracy felonies , Tankster. Keep in mind this was years ago. I didn’t do anything wrong. Just friends I grew up with were into stuff. So I went for the ride.
