How to expunge misdemeanor in PA?

Answer 1

There are two things that must be met in order to even try to begin expungment proceedings. These things are:

• An arrest was made that did not lead to a guilty charge

• A defendant received deferred adjudication and completed community supervision for a class C misdemeanor charge

If these things relate to your case, then you can attempt to begin the expungement process if a judge allows it, but there are no guaranteed and a good case must be presented.

Below is a link to an article on expungement.

ADDED: See the other link below to determine if you even qualify.

Answer 2

Yes, but you must apply to the court for each one individually. There are no "blanket" expunctions. To request the expungement of an offense from your STATE (not Federal) criminal record: You must have either been exonerated, acquited, or served the complete term of your sentence - then file a petition/motion with the court setting forth valid reason(s) why your request should be granted. A judge will review your petition and the circumstances of your case and issue a ruling either granting or denying the request. AN EXPUNGEMENT IS NOT A PARDON! Expungement only removes the record of your offense from being available to the public. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies will always have access to your actual 'true' record.

Answer 3

If you and/or your offense qualifies you can make application for it.

If it is a federal offense - forget it.
