Do you mean you were considered a juvenile at the time? I don't know what you mean by saying that your personal information is on the internet. Convictions for theft or shoplifting can not be expunged. If you mean you were given an SIS and probation, then the original charge would have been dismissed if you successfully completed probation. The original charge should not show up on any employer's background check, unless you are applying for a law enforcement job, FBI, etc.

In Michigan you can get something expunged if it is your only offense(with a couple of exceptions) and 5 years have passed. You have to petition the court. If it is not expunged you can't get the records sealed. They are public and anyone can look at them.

You cannot get it expunged in New York, you can only get a Certificate of Relief from Disabilities to get some jobs that might not be available to you if your employer wants to hire you. You must have had several convictions to get probation and employers will not hire a person who has theft convictions for most positions. You must realize that becoming a thief will impact your career possibilities and not make such bad decisions. Your record will not prevent you from starting your own business or getting the skills to be successful if you want to be more serious about your future.

Yes, as long as you have successfully completed probation and are currently clean. Contact a lawyer to do the petition.

You can apply to have the conviction set aside provided that it has been at least five years. Contact an expungment attorney for more information.

An attorney can file a petition on your behalf to expunge one criminal conviction. In Michigan, this can be done 5 years after you complete probation.

If you were not convicted you might be able to get the records sealed and then later expunged. Hire an attorney for this.
