Can I get a felony expungement for a concealed weapon charge?

Here is some helpful info: In Ohio, expungement is the same as sealing a record. It is a court process that allows you to have any and all reference to a prior criminal conviction cleared and your court file sealed. It is as if you were never convicted of the crime. 2. Do the records just disappear? No. Once your record is expunged, nothing will show up when your record is checked. After expungement is finished, when asked about your past criminal record, you can honestly say that you have none. You can act as if the arrest and conviction never took place. However, even if your record is sealed: 1) law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and other agencies can look at your sealed record; 2) if you commit another crime, your sealed record can still be used against you in sentencing; and 3) your sealed record may be used to show character or credibility in court >proceedings. In the case of juvenile records expunged under ORC 2151.358, records ordered to be sealed must be destroyed. There is an exception for records of expelled students maintained by school systems. 3. What records may be expunged? All official records pertaining to the case may be ordered sealed and, except that an index of sealed records may be maintained, all index references to the case deleted and, in the case of bail forfeitures, the court may dismiss the charges in the case. ORC 2953.32. For juvenile records expunged under ORC 2151.358, the court shall order the appropriate persons and governmental agencies to delete all index references to the case; destroy or delete all court records of the case; destroy all copies of any pictures and fingerprints taken of the person pursuant to the expunged arrest; and destroy, erase, or delete any reference to the arrest that is maintained by the state or any political subdivision of the state, except a record of the arrest that is maintained for compiling statistical data and that does not contain any reference to the person. There is an exception for records of expelled students maintained by school systems. 4. Who is eligible for an expungement? You are eligible if you meet all of the following six conditions: 1) The conviction you are trying to expunge is NOT for one of the crimes or categories of crimes listed. (Convictions of the crimes listed CANNOT be sealed.) If you dont know the crime for which you were convicted, contact the Clerk of the Courts. Remember your case was criminal, so be sure to go to the appropriate part of the Clerks office. Request a certified copy of the Judgment Order of Conviction(s). You will need to give the Clerk your case number. If you do not have the number, ask the Clerk to use the computer to look it up. For a small fee (one or two dollars), the Clerk will give you a copy. If the Judgment Order of Conviction mentions one of the crimes listed below, you cannot get your record sealed. >rape (ORC 2907.02) >>sexual battery (ORC 2907.03) >>corrupting a minor (ORC 2907.04) >>gross sexual imposition (ORC 2907.05) >>sexual imposition (ORC 2907.06) >>obscenity involving a minor (ORC 2907.321) >>pornography involving a minor (ORC 2907.322) >>illegal use of a minor in pornography (ORC 2907.323) >>all drivers license violations (ORC Chapter 4507) >>motor vehicle violations (ORC Chapter 4511) >>bail forfeitures in traffic cases (Traffic Rule 2) >>misdemeanors of first degree or felonies where victim is under the age of 18 >>felonies of the first or second degree >>offenses of violence that are misdemeanors of first degree or felonies >>(except the following offenses of violence can be expunged: convictions for riot >>(2917.03) and misdemeanor convictions for assault (2903.13), inciting to >>violence (2917.01), and inducing panic (2917.31)) 2) You were NOT subject to a mandatory prison term for the conviction you seek to expunge (in other words, you were eligible for probation for that conviction).
