Asked on Aug 09th, 2012 on Expungements - Missouri
More details to this question:
In 03/2009 i was charged with felony Drug possession which resulted in a Class D Felony. I was ordered to do 2 years on probation as well as 2 different types of classes related to my charge. Its now Aug, 2012 and in that time i did not recieve any other charges or commit any offenses. my question is how do i go about getting my felony expunged, so it is off of my record so employers cannot see it. Now that i am done with probation i am looking to move on with my life and change for good but my past and only mistake is holding me back. thanks!

There is no felony expungement or any expungement in California! If you were sent to prop 36 classes the court may seal the record, but any conviction other than a prop 36 case is on the record. Contact the court. California does not have a class D felony if you were convicted in another state you need to contact a lawyer there.

You don't. You have to wait a minimum of five (5) years) with a clean record during that time.

In NJ you would have to wait 5 years from the date when your probationary term was done before being eligible for expungement.

In pa felonies for all intents and purposes cannot be expunged. A pardon is possible. Consult with and retain an attorney.

A new law goes into effect on August 28th in Missouri which allows expungement of certain types of felonies if defendant has no other misdemeanors or felonies on his record for the 20 years following the original felony conviction, but drug possession is not on the list of felonies that can be expunged.
