If you have had no problems with the law since your felony conviction and more than ten (10) years have passed since it occurred, you are a candidate for a possible expungement of this conviction.
In order to see the likelihood of any expungement, you should consult with a criminal defense attorney who does this type of a motion on a regular basis. Besides the passage of time as being a factor for the possible expungement, the court takes into consideration community service work as well.
Good luck.
