Hello and thank you kindly, I will be as brief as possible. I live in Abilene, Texas, but lived in Otoe County Nebraska for a few years prior to now. I was arrested in 2004 for a class IV felony, possession of a controlled substance. I was found with around 1/2 a gram of psilocybin. (mushrooms).
I had a pretty clean record, just a couple misdemeanors when I was around 19 or so, never any felonies, never any violent crimes. Nevertheless, I was convicted of the felony, and sent to the state penitentiary. I had a public defender by the way, a worthless one. I served 6 months and was released. I have been in absolutely no trouble since then.
My question is how can I get this off my record? How long do I have to wait? I have scoured the internet to no avail.
I am a good guy. I maintain steady employment, I have some college, and want to finish my degree someday. I am 29 years old, and without a college degree, I am limited as to what I can to make money in this world. I am disabled from a car accident, so manual labor is not an option. In short, this felony hurts me badly in the job market. I need help getting it expunged, and I am desperate.
Thanks again for your time.
Sincerely,
Brian McCormack
