no, the cases were not brought on at the same time. the dui was 5 years ago and is still pending. It was actually an underage drinking case because I was only 19 years old. The other case was a possession case- which I want expunged- which was dropped and now says dead docket. However we all know that still looks bad when you apply for a job, even thought I was not convicted and the charges against me were dropped. Anyways, that happened 2.5 years ago. I have read that article that you sent before, thank you for the info. I am just worried about applying for expungement if my friend was right- f you cannot expunge something from your record while another case is pending- because I have heard if you mess up an expungement or get denied, there is a chance you can never apply again. Therefore my main question is whether or not anyone know if this is true- can you apply and have something expunged while another case is still pending?? If anyone can shed any light I would appreciate it!
