    Default Criminal Record Expungement And The Statute Of Limitations In Ohio

    Hi, I have a very important question and I hope someone out there can help. Back in 1990 I have a first degree misdemeanor charge of 'attempt drug abuse' ONLY. I just now proceeded in have this exponged from my record. It was 18 years ago and now I want to proceed a career in the medical field, but I'm worried that this will hurt me. I have no other record expect this one and a speeding ticket. What is statute of limitations for this kind of act? Since my involement 18years ago i know the judge (hopefully) will grant this. Please help....
    Thank you so much for reading this
    J.G.

    hello. Im not an attorney or anything, but I can tell you from my experience in Ohio. It is my understanding that each state has different laws pertaining to expungement. I can speak from ohio , and only from my experience. I went back to the Judge after 3 years then again after 6, and he granted it to me after 6 years. okay, so i proceeded to become an RN. I got all the way to the clinicals, and Ohio passed a new law that my expungement can be opened in certain circumstances. working with the elderly, children, and ? so, my STNA , nurses aide licence suddenly became impossible to use. i was fired from my nursing home job, and so, i started to pursue a degree then, in medical records. and because I am fearful , I have made an appt with an attorney to ask this question you are asking. will my sealed record hurt me?
    my suggestion would be. have an attorney sit down with you, with the law, and read that law together, and have him explain the boundries : what is allowed and what is not allowed. and prevent yourself the huge disappointment that I went through not long ago. each state is a little different, as I understand it, pertaining to this law. the lawyer is going to charge me about 75.00 but to me, I can set goals, and accomplish my goals and without violating any laws, and without great disappointment.
    once I am armed with the law, i can forge forward in college , and get going with it.
    hope this helps. nurserascal

    Nurserascal, that is useful information.

    It is important if jgin's expungement does go through that he/she will need to consider what profession she will seek an education in - since her/his record can still be considered (in some instances) and may prevent or make it difficult for her/him to get employment in certain fields.

    What do you mean by a statute of limitations?

    Do you mean how long you have to wait before you are eligible to seek an expungement?

    Alright, I think I know what you are trying to ask. This doesn't have anythig to do with statute of limitations.

    If I understand you correctly:

    You have petitioned to have your record expunged, but it hasn't been approved yet?

    If that is right, you are wondering how long the judge will take before this happens?

    One other question - Are you using an attorney for this procedure?

    The Hamilton County Courts have a nice page on expungement in Ohio, with forms downloadable in PDF format.

    i went to an attorney and he told me he would charge me 1500.00. so, i called the court house. the clerk told me, "honey, bring me 50.00 and the paperwork, and we can help you get it filed" . so i had to go online and find a reputable way to get the paperwork. a librarian helped me find it. and that cost 80.00. it took the court house 3 months to get back to me. the prosecutor had to have the opportunity to object and my old probation officer had to have the opportunity to put in his opinion. and they sent me a letter acknowledging my request. and when my court date was.
    and each attempt, every 3 years after the fact, in ohio. is when you can file and request. so, after 6 yrs, i was granted the expungement.
    HOPE THIS Helps

    HappyTrails,
    I paid $50.00 to the Court in Cleveland on the 14th of Feb. I know it takes awhile, should I sit down and talk to a lawyer? Thank you for your time
