I would like to get my record expunged, what type of lawyer do I need?
I have misdemeanors on my record from some ten years ago and would like to have them removed. This was from a very difficult time in my life, that now seems ions ago but still lives on in a courthouse/online for anyone to view if they are so inclined. There are no expungement attorneys in my county. I have to hire one from this county.

Generally speaking, criminal lawyers understand the system and do this type of work, but many other types of lawyers can do it as well. It starts with the court that presided over your offenses. I am going to give you a link to a website that can help explain things better. Good luck.
