How can you get a dismissed charge ex-sponged off your record and how much would it cost?



Answers:
Depends on your state. In CA, the process of expungement involves a petition to the court, plus a $60-120 fee. The court receives the petition, reviews it with or without the prosecution's objection, allows a plea to be withdrawn or sets aside a verdict/judgment, and the case is dismissed.

If the case has already been dismissed, you may be able to seal your record, but if you don't have any convictions, why bother?

A dismissed charge wouldn't be on your record anyway.
And it's "expunged."
I believe this is usually done at the time the charges are dismissed and only under certain circumstances. I would recommend talking to a lawyer or your local district attorney, either should be able to give you the information you are looking for. You could also try the state web site for your state. A lot of these have the laws of the state on them, but plan on taking some time, they take a while to negotiate. If you look it up on a website it's expunged.
Expunging goes through your Lieutenant Governors office in your State and in my State the cost is around $250.00 because it can be done pro se (by yourself without a lawyer), or you can pay an attorney to do it for you at a much higher cost.
