Answer
Justin,

Thanks for asking about this matter. In order to get this off of your record, you should contact a legal rep and inquire about expungement or a full pardon.

Another option is contacting the judge who sentenced you to see if he can do something.

Depending on which state you live in these procedures may vary.


Best wishes,
