You have listed Iowa as the state from which you write so I am assuming it is the state of conviction. Iowa has very limited situations in which expungement is granted. It has to be an eligible alcohol related offense or you received a deferred judgement at the time of conviction and sucessfully completed probation. I would speak with a lawyer asap.
