text: how do i get a gross mesdemeanor expunged from my record? i was convicted of conspiracy to commit credit card fraud when i was 19.  it has been over 10 years and i have never been in trouble since.  i need to get it off my record so i can get a government job.  any suggestions?? okay, listen...the other folks who answered don't know what they're talking about.  u can easily get this expunged from your record...regardless of your age.  it's not a sex crime, and it's not dui related.  u have let enough time lapse...expungement is definitely a-ok, and i'm sure it'll be easily done w/o a hearing or anything.  u just need to get a lawyer, and he/she can do it for a few hundred bucks...maybe $200-$300.  well worth it to start fresh on a clean slate.  go for it!
