Legal Answers
385 Questions Answered
- Q. Can I travel to Turkey with a resolved misdemeanor charge?
- A: If you are on supervised probation, you need permission from your probation officer or the judge to leave Maryland. This is a standard condition of supervised probation. You will also need to see if there any restrictions in being allowed into Turkey with a conviction which depends on the laws there and the nature of your conviction.
- Q. Can I expunge 42-year-old charges for open container and resisting arrest in Maryland?
- A: If you received probation before judgment, they can both be expunged. If the convictions are intact and they arose from the same incident, then they cannot be expunged because resisting arrest cannot be expunged. Under the unit rule, both charges must be eligible. However, the laws change frequently and this could change in the future. You should verify this with a lawyer looking up your charges to be sure.
- Q. Can I expunge a minor firearm possession record in MD to own a firearm?
- A: It depends whether you received probation before judgment and the exact charge. If you received probation before judgment, it can be expunged now. If the conviction stood, then you would need to review the list of convictions that can be expunged or speak with an attorney.
