Your welcome...but you did the hard part.

One of the most rewarding things of being a criminal defense lawyer is the satisfied client.  Clients are especially grateful after I get their petition for non disclosure granted by the court.  While I appreciate their gratitude they fail to recognize that it is their hard work that led to successful completion of the deferred adjudication allowing them to be eligible for the petition of non disclosure.  Typically, a misdemeanor deferred adjudication is one year in duration of reporting to a probation officer,  performing community service and attending different classes.  This takes time and interferes with a person's life.  You would be surprised how many people are unable to successfully complete a deferred adjudication and thus are precluded from ever having their record sealed.
