Hello and welcome to the community! I would consult with an attorney, or speak with the state’s attorney in the county the charges were filed.

Welcome to the family brother @Zach15 and God bless you. Try to see an attorney about getting it expunged.

Welcome to the Community @Zach15 .
There has been always single answer for such questions:
“contact State’s Attorney”.

Even we have a lot of knowledgeable Members here, I don’t think you want to count on “internet advices” in such matter.
:thinking:
Additionally each case may be different and you never find strict answer.

Good luck :crossed_fingers:

Welcome and good luck Zach. I know some great people, now model contributing citizens, who had made a mistake in their younger days.

Welcome to the Community @Zach15. The best option to attempt to have your rights restored is to have your record expunged.

I would also recommend reaching out to an attorney to assist you in this process! For your convenience, here is a resource you may use to search for an expungement attorney in your area: https://www.avvo.com/expungement-lawyer.html
