Do I Need an Expungement and if So How Would I Obtain One

[sjonesd3]

My question involves criminal records for the state of: Ohio I was charged with 513.03 MM - DRUG ABUSE. It is a minor misdemeanor I was charged with it last year and I was wondering how I go about getting it expunged. Also the sentence is complete.

The expungement process is fully outlined here. Although minor misdemeanors in Ohio are at the same level as traffic tickets in most other states, a drug conviction can sometimes interfere with federal financial aid so if you're considering getting student loans you may want to take a look at how your charge fits with the present federal regulations and whether you should explore expungement.
