How do I go about getting a Class C misdemeanor off my record and/or steps i can take to insure that it does not go on my record?
I was given a Class C misdemeanor for transportation of alcohol. The police officer told me that I can get this taken care of before court. How? And also, I am a criminal justice major in college is this going to be on my record and hinder my chances to have a job in the criminal justice field? I have had no previous charges of any sort, no tickets, nothing the first time I’ve ever had to deal with the legal system. I will pay for a lawyer or anything to get this off my record ASAP.

If you have not been convicted of the misdemeanor charge that you have written about, I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorey about the possibility of "diversion" in your court system and if you qualify for such. If you qualify, then you will be required to do community service work, pay a fine and stay out of trouble. If successful, then the criminal charge gets dismissed against you.
