Typically, once a certain amount of time has passed you will be able to petition the court where the charge was and ask that the criminal record be sealed. However, if you have more than one conviction, the state law may restrict your ability to get it expunged. As I am not licensed to practice in Alabama, I strongly encourage you to consult an attorney who is licensed to practice there.
