Yes, it is possible to expunge a criminal record in Massachusetts under certain circumstances. However, it's important to note that Massachusetts has strict guidelines and limitations for expungement.

In Massachusetts, expungement is not available for adult criminal records. The only exception is if the individual was wrongfully convicted and later exonerated. In such cases, the court may order the expungement of the record.

On the other hand, Massachusetts does provide options for sealing criminal records, which can provide some relief. Sealing a record means that it is not accessible to the general public but may still be available to certain government agencies and law enforcement.

There are specific criteria that must be met in order to be eligible for record sealing in Massachusetts. Generally, individuals may be eligible if:

• They were not convicted of certain serious crimes, such as murder, rape, or child pornography
• They have completed their sentence, including probation and parole
• They have no pending charges or outstanding court fines
• A certain amount of time has passed since the conviction or release from incarceration

It's important to consult with an attorney who specializes in criminal law to determine your eligibility for record sealing in Massachusetts. They can guide you through the process and help you understand the specific requirements based on your situation.
