If the term of probation was successfully completed and you have no new offenses you should be able to have it expunged.

No. It cannot be expunged. It can however, be sealed. You can contact the probation department of the court in which you were charged and ask if they can help you fill out the forms to have your record (CORI) sealed. If you are unable to do this on your own, then hire a lawyer to do it for you. We get many phone calls every week looking to have their records sealed. I do not take people's money to do things they can do themselves and we typically recommend that they first try it on their own to see if they can save our legal fees. If they are sure they need assistance we are happy to take the job. Give it a try on your own. If you feel that you are over our head, or you do not qualify for automatic sealing, then give us or any lawyer you feel comfortable with a call.

If it is your only conviction, it can be. Good luck!

Yes, if its the only offense ever, or there are small offenses while committed under the age of 21.

Expunction can only happen in Florida if the charges were dropped, the defendant was acquitted, or the case has been sealed for 10 years.

No, it can't be expunged. Only certain types of misdemeanor convictions can be expunged after 10 years have passed since the conviction, but battery is not one of the types.
