More details to this question:
A little over 20 years ago my late father hired Royce Ferguson ( A great man ) help in my first and criminal offense. Felony. 1 yr probation and 1 month of house arrest. He mentioned something about being able to get my record either sealed or expunged I dont remember which. I was wondering what do I need to do to get it sealed or expunged? I have so many job opportunities that are waiting for my record to be either sealed or expunged.

There is a process, depending on the charge, to vacate the charge. In the court that convicted/sentenced you, you can petition to have the charge vacated and sealed. Expungement is a different situation, and may be appropriate depending on the circumstances. What you are describing, most likely, would be a vacate/seal. You can get the forms off of the state courts website, and follow the instructions, or if you want to ease the process, you can hire an attorney to process the vacation for you.
