# Can a larceny charge be expunged from my record in Rhode Island?

Yes, in many cases. If your larceny charge was dismissed, filed-and-dismissed after a year of good behavior, or resolved through diversion, you are often eligible to expunge the record once the applicable waiting period has passed. Even a misdemeanor larceny conviction can be expunged after several years with no new offenses. Felony grand larceny is harder but not impossible, particularly for first-time offenders. An expungement does not erase the arrest from every database, but it removes it from the standard background checks used by most employers, landlords, and licensing boards. Bank & Munns handles expungements every week and can tell you whether you qualify in a single phone call.
