You are eligible for expungement if five years have passed since you were convicted AND you have not been arrested since. Talk with a good lawyer to get some information about eligibility and the process. Read the expungement page on my website. Lots of people do this without a lawyer and end up making a mess of it - doing part of it right is like building part of a bridge - it doesn't accomplish anything.
