How do I get a judge to limit the criminal protective order on my boyfriend?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
I am assuming that he is being charged with domestic violence and you are the victim with a "no contact" protective order. Judges, in general are extremely protective of domestic violence victims, which is why they usually issue a "no contact" protective order. You could try speaking to your boyfriend's attorney and the D.A. about having the order modified to a peaceful contact order. Whether or not it will be granted will be up to the judge.

Inform the state attorney's office. You might have to take a class in order to get the charges dropped.

What can I do to get a drug conviction expunged?

How? File the Petition and motion. Most people hire an attorney, but it can be done pro per with care. The basic form is available at the court or on line. Do your research. Will it help with Food stamps? Maybe, but you should ask your local welfare office to be sure. Theirs is the only opinion that counts. Many convictions can be 'expunged' from criminal records by proper application and Petition to the court, but only if there was no felony prison time sentenced whether served or not, and if it was not for certain listed Sexual and Domestic Violence crimes, and if all terms of sentencing and at least one year of probation are completed, and if there are no new charges pending. If successful, the conviction would be retroactively reduced to a misdemeanor, if necessary, and then withdrawn and the charges dismissed. Expungement does not clear, 'remove' or erase the conviction, but merely changes the record to show 'conviction reversed and dismissed by expungement'. When applying for a job in the private sector, you generally do not have to disclose a conviction if it was expunged. However, the conviction is still a 'prior' or 'strike' for purposes of repeat offense, and must be disclosed on any application for government and professional employment and licensing, bonding, security clearance, etc. The licensing agency and employer then can decide whether you are barred from licensing or employment because of the conviction.
