Q: How do i get an AGG Battery off my record from 1986?
A: Were you put on probation? The lawyer you speak with needs to have a copy of all of your documents, particularly your sentencing order, from your court file. I am not sure that it is even possible to get it off your record, but the type of probation you were on, if any, would matter.
Juan Ooink agrees with this answer
A:
You need to meet with a lawyer to discuss options.
Any good lawyer would want to see the court records, including the exact nature of the conviction, if it is a conviction.
If it's not a conviction, it may be eligible for expungement- that is, where law enforcement records and court records are gathered and destroyed.
If it is a conviction, it may be eligible for sealing, depending again on what it is. Sealing is where the records are not destroyed, but hidden from public view. Law enforcement can still see it.
Otherwise, what you would need to do is apply for a pardon from the Governor of the State of Illinois. Some lawyers do that kind of work to help the person applying make the most persuasive case possible to the Governor's Office.
I wish you the best of luck.

A: If you were convicted, you will not be able to expunge this matter. The only way to get it off your record if you were convicted is to request a pardon from the governor through an Executive Clemency Petition. Your first step is to speak with an attorney to figure out what can be done with your case. The second step is to listen to that attorney.
