This is the standard operating procedure for a good kid who made stupid mistake when they were young. &nbsp;It will only take a couple of hours of work for the legal firm so the cost should be in the neighborhood of $700.00. &nbsp;It will be worth it in the long run. &nbsp;The second option is exapoungement which is a bit more lengthy but actually removes the juvinle crime from his record. &nbsp;We do this all the time in civilian fire re ruitment. &nbsp;<div>God Speed&nbsp;</div>Response by SPC Richard Haas Jr. made Dec 3 at 2013 11:49 PM2013-12-03T23:49:55-05:002013-12-03T23:49:55-05:002013-12-03T08:06:55-05:00
