Typically, you can get the record expunged. There should be any number of attorneys in your area capable of filing a motion for this. I cannot tell you what the cost may be but its sounds worth the investment to clear your name. At least in Florida, the arrest will not "disappear" from your record as far as law enforcement is concerned, but other people/entities/businesses will no longer be able to access the battery history if the case is properly expunged/sealed. Good luck.
