For a lot of criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time period is generally 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all financial obligations owed to the court have actually been fully satisfied. And there must not be any brand-new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests since the conviction looked for to be vacated.
