I am 55 years old, received domestic violence over 15 years ago and MDOP in 1975. Can I get these expunged? I have checked my criminal record on several sites. They don’t show up.

You cannot expunge a record unless the case was dismissed without having received probation or deferred, or if you were found not guilty. Even though it may not appear in your searches, if someone were to conduct a search using your fingerprints, they would easily find the record.

If they don't show then you will not need to do anything. It is very difficult to expunge a criminal record the process is complicated. I would suggest you contact an attorney.
