    Default Record Expungement

    About 18 years ago I was arrested in the nyc subway and accused of sexual abuse and jostling while on my way to work, this happened twice in a two week period by the same officers, I went to court for almost two years, but the case kept being put off, so I asked my legal aid lawyer how can I put an end to this, he recommended that I take a plea bargain, in which I was told this would not be on my record after 10 years if I did not have any more problems of this nature, so I agreed and stopped riding the subway.
    since 1996 I have passed two government background checks( Dept. of Justice and Pentagon, and one backgound check with Merrill corp. in 2004, in which I was hired, Recently I reapplied with Merrill corp and was offered a position pending a background investigation when the 1987 charges showed up on my record, the company is in the process of re-evaluating whether to hire me because of this and has spoken to me to here my side, but I would like to have these charges expunged from my record, also a couple of years after I went through this there was a huge article in the NY daily news about under cover transit police officers targeting African Americans and Latino's to reach there quota for arrest, I belief there was a law suit involved, Is it possible for me to have these incidents expunged?

    Default Criminal Record Expungement in New York

    New York doesn't provide for exungement of criminal records. You should be able to seek a Certificate of Good Conduct from the court. Application instructions are available (in PDF format) here.

    Thank you for your response.
    Is there any way at all to get your record expunged?
    and if so how much would it cost?
