Depending on what criminal charge/case you are wanting to remove from your criminal record, you may not need to go through the pardon process. Maryland law allows for many misdemeanors and several felonies to be expunged from someone's criminal record. There are a list of criminal charges that are eligible for expungement, however several factors need to be considered when determining if a case can be expunged. Here are examples: What is the crime that was charged? What was the outcome of the case? Guilty, Not Guilty, Case dismissed, Probation Before Judgment (PBJ), etc? When was the case closed? Were you placed on probation and if so, when did the probation end? Have you been charged with a crime since this case?
