I am trying to seal a criminal charge that is preventing me from getting into a program at the college I attend. I have the paperwork needed to seal my record and I have paid all fines and served my time. It has been approximately four years since conviction. I just need help with filling out the paperwork and understanding how and where to file.

Certain convictions can be vacated, depending on the type of crime, and the length of time since the terms of the sentence were completed. If it is vacated, then the guilty plea is withdrawn, a non-guilty plea is entered, the case is dismissed, and the conviction is vacated. It needs to be filed in the court where the conviction took place. It also needs to be served on the prosecuting attorney for that jurisdiction. I handle these for people on a regular basis.
