If it is withdrawn you will be eligible for expungement. Make sure you talk to your lawyer about expungement options for the 4 hour class. Good luck!

Various counties often have different programs to address minor offenses. All have ARD, but many have other programs as well. It appears that this is a program that will withdraw the charges upon completion allowing for immediate expungment.

I agree with the previous attorney. Until you seek expungement the record of this offense will remain unchaged. I would suggest retaing counsel to assist with that process. Good luck.
