In order the try and get the petty larceny conviction against you expunged you need to consult with a criminal defense attorney to see what the costs and the chances of success for the petition you desire.
Note, the court does not grant every petition to expunge a criminal conviction. The court looks at what the conviction was for, how long ago it was, what the person has done with his life since the conviction and the reasons for the desired expungement.
