If you have been convicted of a criminal offense, upon fulfillment of the conditions of probation or sentence, and discharge by the Court you may apply, at the Court, to have the judgment set aside. The judge who pronounced sentence will review the request to have the judgment of guilt set aside.

If the judge grants the application, he/she will sign an order setting aside the judgment of guilt. The order will state in part that:  the person be released from all penalties and disabilities resulting from the conviction. This statement is not synonymous with expungement.
