You need to have successfully completed the entire term of probation, have nothing criminal pending, and not be on probation for any other offense(s). Contact a lawyer to file the petition for expungement on your behalf.

Yes. You need to expunge your record. Any background check will show the conviction and it will prevent you getting a job, apartment or even a loan.

Depends on the job. Disorderly conduct suggests that you were intoxicated and acting inappropriately and causing a problem. Some employers may not care. (It is also a Class C so most employers will not know unless you were charged with something else and the charge was reduced.)

It could make it more difficult, yes. It is a misdemeanor so some job applications do not ask about those, but some do. You may want to talk to a lawyer about your eligibility for expungement
