Can my criminal record be expunged?

FAQ'S
Criminal records can be expunged by law if you offer satisfactory proof that you have been acquitted of the specific charge and have no other convictions on your record. A pardon from the Governor does not act as an acquittal and is not a basis for expungement. Also, a circuit court order will not serve to expunge unless you have been acquitted of the charge and you have no other criminal convictions on your record.
