Well,  I am a felon because a paid informant who was also introuble turned me to into the NHDTF.   2 yrs probation are over.   But I still have to have 7 years of good luck with the law before I might be able to get my felony expunged.

so I am basically receiving 9 years of ostracization for selling 14 grams of Marijuana.

I did not know about any expungement law. Can you give more info? I do know you can petition through a lawyer for your right to own a firearm. Please post any info you may have on this subject. Thanks


It's going to get worse before it gets worse.

Well the final letter from my Lawyer, said that he could help me expunge the felony when the 7 years is up.     Im not sure if it is 7 years after probation or 7 years starting from the sentencing date.     I would like to know more as well.  


I found this on:  http://criminal-law.freeadvice.com/criminal-law/felony_convictions.htm

Not every case can be expunged. Every state has its own requirements that have to be met before a criminal record can be expunged. Contrary to popular belief, records are not "sealed" automatically with the passage of time, but require the filing of a petition with the court requesting the expungement and stating the reasons you are requesting it and how you meet the criteria set by law. The procedure can take between three months to almost a year depending upon the Court and the severity of the case. The fees are usually very reasonable, in the neighborhood of $2,000 to $2,500.00, and include research, filing fees, the drafting of the Petition, and any Court appearances. If you are not versed in this area of law, or feel you cannot handle this even with doing your own legal research, a criminal defense attorney would be able to do this for you.

EDIT:  I love how they say a fee of $2000 is reasonable.    My Lawer had one of those BMW SUV things I guess it might be reasonable to him.
