The term is" EXPUNGED" your record is expunged from view when a check is done.
Yes, I have a friend that had this same problem. He got a Lawyer to petition the court.
Went before a Judge. He showed that he had stayed out of trouble for so many years. supports his family has raised kids, etc., and he explained that he felt he was beyond that now and needed a chance to better his life. I am an electrical contractor and I wrote a letter for him, as a character witness.. He was working for me part time I also have known him for years. Once this has gone through the courts the record was sealed and it is not supposed surface after this when a record check is done on you. I would suggest getting as many refereces prior to filing tyhis in the courts to ensure you get it done. Good luck.
