While you can than legally say that youve never been convicted of a crime, you cannot say that youve never been charged with a crime. And while the conviction has been vacated, it is still open to the public. Expungement refers to the removal of this non-conviction data from state patrol records.
Typically, a motion must be timely filed that spells out a valid reason to vacate the conviction. If you believe that you or someone you know has been wrongly convicted of a crime and you want to vacate the conviction, you will likely need an experienced criminal defense lawyer on your side.
Vacate is the legal term for clearing a conviction from your criminal record. Even though vacating a record cancels the judgement against you, it does not make the court record private. If you get a criminal record vacated, you can tell anyone who asked that you were not convicted of that offense.
A vacated or scratched hearing or case means that a court order or judgment has been cancelled or rendered void. Cases are sometimes vacated at the preliminary hearing stage which may mean that the formal charges were not filed or that the prosecutor has chosen to present it to the Grand Jury for indictment.

Generally speaking, to vacate or set aside a conviction or sentence means nullifying the courts judgment on your case. In other words, when the court grants your petition to vacate a conviction, it will look as if your cases trial and judgment never occurred, but it does not mean your case is over.
