A:
In Maryland, expungement eligibility for a felony conviction like aiding and abetting in tax fraud depends on various factors, including the specific circumstances of your case, the type of conviction, and your criminal record since the conviction.
Generally, Maryland law allows for certain criminal records to be expunged after a waiting period, but it's essential to understand that not all convictions are eligible for expungement. Typically, felony convictions are more challenging to expunge compared to misdemeanors.
If it has been 25 years since your conviction, you may be eligible to explore the possibility of expungement. However, eligibility criteria can vary, and it's crucial to consult with an attorney who specializes in criminal law in Maryland. They can evaluate your situation, review your criminal record, and guide you through the expungement process, if applicable.
Keep in mind that expungement is not guaranteed, and the outcome depends on many factors. An experienced attorney can provide you with personalized advice based on the specifics of your case and help you determine whether expungement is a viable option for you.
