If you were on probation for the offense it is unlikely you can get the arrest records and resolution of the case expunged. If you were placed on deferred probation and successfully completed it (which seems to be the case as you state you were released early from the requirements of the probation) you may be able to have the case sealed.  There are some additional eligibility issues that must be addressed before anyone can tell you whether you are eligible to have it sealed. If you are eligible, the petition must be filed, and the state is entitled to a hearing on the matter. My advice is that you hire an attorney to handle this for you, to give you the best shot of having the petition granted.
