Asked on Nov 08th, 2011 on Criminal Law - New York
More details to this question:
I was arrested in 2006 and then was sentenced in 2010 to a 160.05 felony, but I did no jail time or probation. I just want it expunged. Money is not a problem. I can pay what ever is needed.
A 160.05 felony is Robbery in the third degree which is a Class D felony. If this is what you were convicted of, regardless of whether you did jail time, then you currently have a criminal record with a felony on it. In New York State, you cannot expunge felonies from your record except under limited circumstances, mostly involving juveniles. Therefore, you would not be able to get this conviction expunged from your record.
If you or a friend or loved one was convicted of a 160.05, that is a Robbery in the Third Degree a nonviolent class D felony in New York. This will not be able to be expunged from your record because New York does not have expungments. However, you may be eligible for a Certificate of Relief from Civil Disabilities.
You can spend all the money your want but unfortunately, New York does not expunge records or seal convictions. The best you can hope for is Relief From Civil Disabilities.
