After a crime is expunged, the fact that it was expunged will still remain on your record and is likely to still show up in a background check.

Is there a subpoena requiring the victim to testify? If so, violating a court order may be grounds for a contempt order. As for the no-contact order, it depends on the facts. Was the no-contact order issued to you for someone else's protection? More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney such as myself. You can read more about me, my credentials, awards, honors, testimonials, and media appearances/...

Q: I was arrested on being under the influence and possession of paraphernalia during a probation search for my Roomate.
Dale S. Gribow's answer
Much more info needed.
type up a detailed summary of the facts as your memory will be better today than a month or more from now.
if you are arrested and have a court date, then you need to hire a lawyer or ask the court to appoint one for you.
the DA may have a problem with the lack of rights before talking to you. However, i would not be surprised if the police report shows them having done so and that you were too loaded to remember.

If these are real issues, your attorney should raise them in pretrial motions or in cross examination. If you don't have an attorney, get one.

Dale S. Gribow's answer
MORE INFO NEEDED.
IT IS HARD TO TELL WHAT YOU MAY HAVE DONE WRONG FROM WHAT YOU PROVIDED.
YOU CAN USUALLY GO ON LINE TO LEARN YOUR RECORD BUT THE EASIEST WAY MIGHT BE TO CONTACT A BONDSMAN AND LET THEM DO THE WORK.

You will not be able to travel to the USA with a DUI arrest (even without conviction) within the past 5 years, because you are a public danger. You will need to get clearance from a "panel physician" who is on contract with the US consulate in France. Go to the consulate's website, or go to www.aila.org to look for a US immigration attorney in France, for further guidance. (If you don't find one in France, go to Germany in the listings, there are several I know of who handle this matter.)...
