Dear Darlene:
I am making the assumption that your felonious assault charge was dismissed. If dismissed, you can file to have your record sealed at any time after the dismissal. If you were somehow convicted of felonious assault, then you cannot expunge your conviction because it is a felony of violence and O.R.C. 2953.36 precludes sealing a felonious assault conviction.
