An expungement relieves a person of certain penalties and disabilities that result from a criminal record. A person may file an expungement petition after he or she has fulfilled all terms of probation, or has been discharged from the original term of probation early, or has not been placed on probation and all his or her sentence terms have been completed.

If the person's petition for expungement is granted by the court, he or she can move forward with their lives and leave their mistakes in the past.
