Even if the main end purpose of getting the expungement is for immigration reasons, you should consult with a CRIMINAL lawyer in your area regarding the expungement. You should be able to find various criminal lawyers by searching the appropriate specialization on this website.
Given that it was 19 years ago, it may be extremely difficult to document these things. But I think your issue requires a qualified criminal lawyer. 2 people marked this answer as good

I am a bit confused with your confused with your question because you mention you received deferred adjudication and then you state you received probation. Regardless, you are not eligible to expunge your criminal record under those two scenarios. On the other hand, you are eligible for a motion for non disclosure if you succesfully completed a deferred adjudication. This does expunge your criminal record, but it keeps the general public from viewing your criminal history. I am confident that "immigration" will still see that despite getting a motion for non disclosure granted.
I have blogged about this issue at http://www.houstoncriminallawjournal.com/2008/0... if you want a more detailed response. 2 people marked this answer as good
When you go looking for a "Dallas area lawyer" search for a Ft. Worth lawyer. Lotta good ones over there and they won't charge you a travel fee to get your non-disclosure done.
